Lift Up Your Hearts

I love the Mass. My favorite part is when Jesus is lifted up and we (in our
hearts with the priest) say

"Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours, for ever and ever. Amen"


because that is when my heart soars up with joy at Mass. I wanted to
represent these feelings with this banner.

The large white hands represent God the Father, receiving Christ's Sacrifice
from our priest's hands with love unending. That moment never ends in eternity.
Masses all over the world give us Christ's body in three ways: On the cross
dying, on the altar, and in the tomb (tabernacle) risen, all at the same time
to our joy and acclamation.

God touches the priest with His left fore finger with love and through the
priest, through the sacraments, He touches all of us with love (and also in
other ways, at different times).
