The Communion of Saints: Militant, Suffering, Triumphant

By receiving the sacraments, we become living members of the Body of Christ, one of the many images used to describe the Church. Have you ever realized, however, that “living members” of the Church are more than just those visibly living on earth? Yup. The dead are living members too and, further, more fully alive. Tune in to make sense of this point, clarified by Fr. Donato Infante’s explanation of the Church Militant, Suffering, and Triumphant.
