They recall the song of the seraphim in the prophet Isaiah’s vi- sion of God in majesty: “Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their fac- es, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft. ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts!’ they cried one to the other. ‘All the earth is filled with his glory!’ ” (Isaiah 6:2-3). They recall the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ en- try into Jerusalem: “Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest” (Matthew 21:9). Yet the liturgy adds something new to these ancient texts. The seraphim sang, “the earth is filled with his glory.” But the liturgy proclaims, “heaven and earth are full of your glory.” In the Eucharist, earth and heaven meet. For a moment in time, we join in the song that the angels sing for all time. The Sanctus raises us to heaven but does not remove us from the earth. It is the song of the King who took on our human flesh so that we might share in his divine life. -—Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
