ET again ‘ Our Father '; but this time we must add ‘Who art in heaven.’ Thou art everywhere; but specially Thou art in heaven as in the place where Thou gatherest together Thy children, where Thou showest them Thyself and Thy glory, and where Thou hast appointed them their inheritance.

St Paul, when he had told us how the Spirit gives testimony that we are children of God, added, ' and if sons, heirs also ’: and even this is not all: — it is difficult to realise the full measure of our happiness, for we are ' heirs, indeed, of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.’ We shall have the same inheritance — the same kingdom. We shall be seated on Christ’s own throne; we shall share in His glory, and shall be happy in Him, through Him, and with Him.
