Will I know my family in heaven?

 Will I know my family in heaven?

[Lorenzo]

The two great commandments are that we love God and that we love our neighbor as we do ourselves (Matt. 22:35-40). If being in heaven meant that we could not love others, particularly those who were close to us in this life, then that would mean that we couldn't fulfill the second great commandment.

Christians believe in the communion of saints, which is the union of all who live in Christ. Because of the communion of saints, we may be assured that we will know and love our family in heaven, even if the relationship with them is not exactly the same as it was on earth.

Who knows, my dear. The mercy of God is eternal and incomparable to anything and anyone. If it is the will of God, He can save anyone whom He wills. Pray for your lolo, Anna. Christian or not, pray for him. Perform the novena for the Blessed Mother Mary and ask her to pray for the soul of your lolo. God Bless!!
