Liturgical Query

What does the Extended Preface for use with Eucharistic Prayers A, B and E from Easter Day until the Eve of the Ascension mean when it says:

Jesus Christ... restored in men and women the image of your glory.
He has placed them once more in paradise
and opened to them the gate of life eternal.
Common Worship, p317

Do you think Christ has placed us again in paradise?

Has Common Worship succumbed to an over-realised eschatology?

Sounds weird to me.
