Description: When we refer to Our Father who art in heaven, are we talking to a God who is far removed from us? On the contrary, says the Catholic Catechism, we are talking to a Father who is close to humble and contrite hearts. We assert that God is in the hearts of the just, as he is in his holy temple. He is in heaven, his dwelling place; the Father’s house is our homeland. Sin has exiled us....but conversion of heart enables us to return to the Father, to.... heaven. Christians are in the flesh, but they do not live according to the flesh. They spend their lives on earth, but are citizens of heaven. This is Peggy Stanton and this has been the Order of Malta’s Minute with the Catechism.
