May all the angels in heaven rejoice at his return.
God in deed welcome people like this priest home. However, neither the priest nor any person is returning. Only Jesus returned to heaven, for only he left there for an earthly sojourn. The rest of us are seeing heaven for the first time, mortals enjoying an eternity of joy because of God leaving heaven to live, die, resume life and return to his home, now our home. Thank God for this priest!
