Will the Sacraments continue in heaven?

[Greenscapular]

Will the Sacraments of the Church continue in heaven, even after the end of time?
Meaning, will we visit Mass in heaven? After everything is perfected, will there be any need? Or, will the Sacrifice continue still to preserve the perfection?

 

[porthos11]

Because sacraments are, by their nature signs that convey supernatural realities, they are ordered to our temporal and physical existence. By the end of time, all sacraments will cease, for we will no longer need signs. We will witness the real thing behind the veil, and “see him as he is”.

 

[Dr.Colossus]

The Sacraments are, at their core, sources of Grace. When we reach Heaven, we will attain perfect union with God, and receive His Grace completely. This will be the ultimate Sacrament, and we will no longer have any need of the Sacraments we celebrate on earth.

Marriage is out since Jesus said, "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. " (Matt 22:30)

The sacraments of initiation, Baptism and Confirmation, won’t be needed since everyone in heaven will have already been born of water and the Spirit (John 3:5).

The sacraments of healing, Confession and Anointing of the Sick, won’t be needed since sin, sickness and disease don’t have any place in heaven.

The only two sacraments that I am not sure about are Holy Orders, since Jesus told the Apostles that they would sit on thrones judging the tribes of Israel (Matt 19:28), and the Eucharist, since Jesus mentioned a marriage feast (Matt 25:10).

I don’t think there will be Holy Orders in Heaven because Jesus is the High priest and there is no need for another priest.

I do think there will be the Eucharist in Heaven though. It may not be the same as it is here on earth, but what we have here on earth in the mass is like a reflection of what is happening in Heaven with the angels. I believe the mass will continue. If you read revelation, it talks about the river flowing from the side of the thrown of the lamb and feeding the tree of life. It says we shall have access to the tree of life. I think this is a direct reference to the Eucharist and it is reflecting what we will have in Heaven.
