Rejoice in that Day

“Rejoice in that day …, for behold, your reward is great in heaven”. “In heaven a great Love awaits you, with no betrayals and no deceptions. The fullness of love, the fullness of beauty and greatness and knowledge …! And it will never cloy: it will fill you, yet you will always want more”

-  (St Josemaría Escrivá, The Forge, 995)

Our Nature

Knowing, then, the nobility we share, and how we are seedlings from heaven, let us do nothing that would put our nature to shame. 

Nemesius of Emesa (315-386 A.D.) on Human Nature

We are ‘citizens of heaven’ (Phil 3:20), and at the same time fully-fledged citizens of this earth, in the midst of difficulties, injustices and lack of understanding, but also in the midst of the joy and serenity that comes from knowing that we are children of God”

- (St J. Escrivá, Christ Is Passing By, 126)
