from above, the earth opens itself to a heaven which already stands open to earth. And this open heaven is the eternal Son of the Father, who has been given to the earth and desires to bring creation home to the Father like a bridegroom his bride. The earth’s open receptivity is that of the Bride in her willingness to yield to her Lord’s love, to accept it as her law and commandment, to put into practice the “on earth as in heaven”.
