In this prayer, the phrase clearly refers to the saints and
angels who praise the Lamb forever. This
is the goal of the Christian life, to be with Christ and His saints in our true
and lasting home. To see Him and know
His love completely is the greatest blessing of all, the promised rest at the
end of this life’s struggles. The hope
of everlasting life and the communion of saints are among the strongest strains
in my own spiritual life, themes toward which my meditations and writings often
turn.
