During the Eucharistic celebration, when the Priest says "Lift up your hearts" and the people respond "We have lifted it up to the Lord". What does that context "Lift up your hearts" mean. |

omnipotens, the catechism teaches us that prayer is the raising up of the mind and heart to God. see link: http://www.proecclesia.com/penny%20catechism/ refer to question no. 141. now the mass is the most perfect form of prayer and when we begin the most solemn aspect of it (liturgy of the eucharist), the celebrant (Christ being represented by the priest) invites the congregation to pray by "lifting up our hearts" to God. hope this helps you. |

OmniPotens: i think the actual response is "we lift them up to the Lord". |

Thanks for the correction with regards the response. I think I still need to understand more what that context mean. |

when we pray, we do pray with our mind and heart We lift them up to our Lord our God |

OmniPotens: ok let me make it simple, it is meant for you to put your focus on God in prayer. Lift up your heart = pray to God, focus on God, set your heart on God and God alone. hope that helps. |
