The next section gives the viewer an insight to the Windows dedicated to some of the greatest Saints in history. These Saints, through their lives, give us a model to follow in our own lives.
The earthly liturgy of the Mass and the Sacraments anticipates the heavenly liturgy of eternal life. When we enter the sacred space of the church, where the liturgy is celebrated, we enter the presence of God surrounded by the Blessed Virgin Mary, the angels, the saints in Heaven and the holy souls in purgatory. Together with our Blessed Mother, our brothers and sisters in Heaven, and the souls being purified, we form the Church--the "communion of saints".
Around God's throne, the saints, our brothers and sisters, sing His praises forever. Their glory fills us with joy, and their communion with us in the Church gives us inspiration and strength as we hasten on our pilgrimage of faith eager to meet them (cf. the Preface of All Saints).
In the church, the altar is the throne of the Lamb of God, the sanctuary is His royal domain, and the area within the walls is the sacred space in which those called to holiness gather frequently. The images of the saints invite us to our true vocation--life with God in Heaven.
The faceted glass windows in the parish church of St. Justin Martyr Parish offer us images of some of the greatest saints of history.
