IV. “Who Art in Heaven”
2795
The symbol of the heavens refers us back to the mystery of the covenant we are
living when we pray to our Father. He is in heaven, his dwelling place; the
Father’s house is our homeland. Sin has exiled us from the land of the
covenant,56 but conversion of heart enables us to return to the Father,
to heaven.57 Jn Christ, then, heaven and earth are
reconciled,58 for the Son alone “descended from heaven” and
causes us to ascend there with him, by his Cross, Resurrection, and
Ascension.59
