November 7, 2011 – Catechism 1130-1134

The quote from St. Thomas reminds me again of the analogy of the Sacraments and sign post. I think it makes it so clear to understand the purpose of the Sacraments. When I am driving to Chicago, signs point me in the right direction. The Sacraments are signs that God has given to point us and get us to Heaven. Once you have made it to Chicago, you do not need that signs for Chicago, they have become obsolete. The same goes for Sacraments. Once you are in Heaven, you will not need the Sacraments or the signs of God’s love, you will have God. That is why there is not married or unmarried in Heaven. You will know your spouse in a even more intimate way that ever here on Earth and both of you will be totally focused on God. Even the Eucharist will not be there because God is there and completely a part of you.
