Q347
What is to be contemplated during the consecration of the Mystery?
The consecration of the Mystery is a mystical ascent to the heavenly Kingdom and to the Mystical Supper of Jesus Christ with his Apostles, which was followed by his suffering, death, and burial. As the Apostle writes:
You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering… and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel… Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be grateful and so offer divine service to God acceptably, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. (Heb 12:22–29)
