V. Prayer of Praise

2642
The
Revelation of “what must soon take place,” the Apocalypse, is borne
along by the songs of the heavenly liturgy¹²⁷ but also by the
intercession of the “witnesses” (martyrs).¹²⁸ The prophets
and the saints, all those who were slain on earth for their witness to Jesus,
the vast throng of those who, having come through the great tribulation, have
gone before us into the Kingdom, all sing the praise and glory of him who sits
on the throne, and of the Lamb.¹²⁹ In communion with them, the Church
on earth also sings these songs with faith in the midst of trial. By means of
petition and intercession, faith hopes against all hope and gives thanks to the
“Father of lights,” from whom “every perfect gift” comes
down.¹³⁰ Thus faith is pure praise.
