"Our Father Who Art in Heaven"
“When the Church prays "our Father who art in heaven," she is professing that we are the People of God, already seated "with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" and "hidden with Christ in God;" yet at the same time, "here indeed we groan, and long to put on our heavenly dwelling."” — Catechism footnote: 2 Cor 5:2; cf. Phil 3:20; Heb 13:14.
The Church in God's Plan
“…and subordinated to the divine, the visible to the invisible, action to contemplation, and this present world to that city yet to come, the object of our quest.” — Catechism footnote: SC 2, Cf. Heb 13:14.

Clement of Alexandria
“But rather, he says, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently, lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel surrendered his birth-right; and lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.”” — editor's note: Heb. xiii. 14–16.
