Listen to Christ Himself say that He is both in heaven and on earth: ‘No one has ascended into heaven except him who has descended from heaven: the Son of Man who is in heaven.’ Notice that the Lord Himself said He is both in heaven and on earth. We confess, dearly beloved, that Christ the Lord is head of the Church; if this is true, He is in heaven with regard to the head, but on earth as far as the body is concerned.
Moreover, when the blessed Apostle Paul was persecuting the Church, Christ exclaimed from heaven: ‘Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?’ He did not say: Why do you persecute my servants? Nor did He say: Why do you persecute my members? But He said: ‘Why dost thou persecute me?’ Now the tongue cries out if the foot is stepped on: You stepped on me, even though the tongue cannot be stepped on at all; through the harmony of charity the head cries out for all the members.
