"Heaven" refers to the realm that is the interior part of a human being, and that the "divine self" is none other than the selfless light existing in our innermost depths.
If a thing happens once, it can happen again. If any human being has ever realised perfection, we too can do so. If we cannot become perfect here and now, we never can in any state or heaven or condition we may imagine.
The Eucharist is that love which surpasses all loves in Heaven and on earth
The world cannot bury Christ. The earth is not deep enough for His tomb, the clouds are not wide enough for His winding-sheet; He ascends into the heavens, but the heavens cannot contain Him. He still lives--in the church which burns unconsumed with His love; in the truth that reflects His image; in the hearts which burn as He talks with them by the way.
If you knew the immensity of what it means to be human, you would not talk about God or Heaven.
Heaven be thanked, we live in such an age, When no man dies for love, but on the stage.
Dream Song: The heavens Go with me.
What they do in heaven we are ignorant of; what they do not do we are told expressly.
Flowers may beckon todwards us, but they speak todward heaven and God.
For the spiritual sense of the Word treats everywhere of the spiritual world, that is, of the state of the church in the heavens, as well as in the earth; hence the Word is spiritual and Divine.
While men are gazing up to Heaven, imagining after a happiness, or fearing a Hell after they are dead, their eyes are put out, that they see not what is their birthright.
I’ve died and gone to heaven
The thorn of death falls from heaven, and its myriad forms leave us no room to move.
The main object of religion is not to get a man into heaven, but to get heaven into him.
Religion supposed Heaven and Hell, the word of God, and sacraments, and twenty other circumstances which, taken seriously, are a wonderful check to wit and humour.
You will be nearer to Heaven through foot ball than through study of Gita.
Do you doubt that the least effects of nature were not used as marks of the wrath of heaven? It was to the interest of pontiffs, priests, and augurs, as much as it is to the interest of lawyers and doctors that there should be lawsuits and sickness. No wonder they took care that the people should not grow slack in their religion.
I have but one thought in my heart for the young folk of the Church and that is that they be happy. I know of no other place than home where more happiness can be found in this life. It is possible to make home a bit of heaven; indeed, I picture heaven to be a continuation of the ideal home.
Life is an obstacle and forest, when you have accomplished it all, you get a reward. The reward is Heaven.
Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.
