Catechism Meditation:
The perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity―this communion of life and love with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed―is called “heaven.” Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.” ―No. 1024
REFLECTION. In the book, Day by Day with the Catechism, Peter A. Giersch says, We often think of heaven as endless physical gratification, but it is more like coming home after a long day to find everyone in a good mood, the house clean, and the smell of a delicious meal cooking.
PRAYER. Father, thank you for the gift of family and the blessings they bring.
Timeless Wisdom Quote:
“It is the mystery of the Trinity which gives the answer to the quest for our happiness and the meaning of Heaven. Heaven is not a place where there is the mere vocal repetition of alleluias or the monotonous fingering of harps. Heaven is a place where we find the fullness of all the fine things we enjoy on this earth. Heaven is a place where we find in its plenitude those things which slake the thirst of hearts, satisfy the hunger of starving minds, and give rest to unrequited love. Heaven is the communion with perfect Life, perfect Truth, and perfect Love.” ― Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
