substituting prayer and blessings for them in their place to the
               Father. He had knowledge at each moment what was the

               Father’s due as creator. This is a strong underlying theme in
               the gospel of Matthew- that Jesus redid or recapitulated the life
               of Israel in a perfect way.


               N.616 shows this deep mystical awareness. We see this too in
               Ephesian 4:9-10:
               9
                 (When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he
                                                                                              10
                                            [a]
               had also descended  into the lower parts of the earth?  He
               who descended is the same one who ascended far above all
               the heavens, so that he might fill all things.)


               So too we as we grow as Christians and in love we feel the
               weight of all sin around us and take them to the Eucharist.

               Which is handing them over to Jesus to glorify the Father for us
               by His acts in the DW.  The words of the famous song Be Thou
               my Vision (see below)- show this eloquently.


               This is symbolised by the Biblical symbol of The Cross- where
               all points in time coincide. Again N.618 clearly illustrates this
               concept that the DW Book of heaven teachings give, that Jesus

               had by the Cross a participation in everyone’s sufferings
               caused by their sin choices. It was through His union with the
               incarnate divine person within him. What is this “incarnate
                                                                     i
               divine person” within him- it’s the DW. N. 618 goes on to say
               we can participate in this by sharing in the Cross. It says in a
               way known only to God. But we can boldly say – as now
               elaborated through the writings of Luisa!  Again N.618 points

               out His mother did this par excellence- as the DW writings also
               emphasise.


               Again, N. 634 beautifully and clearly illustrates the concept that
               Jesus’ actions have effect across space and time. He thus did
               not simply do human acts as we did/do!  It uses the term acts

               condensed in time- this is exactly an act in the DW. Human
               acts in space and time that because of our union with Jesus the
