“When the Son on the Cross promises paradise in his company to the good thief, when he promises the future feast in Heaven to the Apostles, when he speaks of the kingdom of the Father, he is always pointing toward eternity. However brief and close to the earth his words sound, they echo throughout infinite eternity and permeate the faith of his followers with their eternal content. He knows what he speaks of, what he brings with him and what he promises; and he can convey it to those who know it not. The very words he uses are designed to awaken in them a new sense: the sense of the eternal.” KnowsUseEarthFatherSpeakHeavenSoundCompanySonPromiseEternalCrossesEternityInfiniteKingdomsParadiseFollowersThievesEchoesPointingApostles Author:Adrienne von Speyr

“No good act performed in the world ever dies. Science tells us that no atom of matter can ever be destroyed, that no force once started ever ends; it merely passes through a multiplicity of ever-changing phases. Every good deed done to others is a great force that starts an unending pulsation through time and eternity. We may not know it, we may never hear a word of gratitude or recognition, but it will all come back to us in some form as naturally, as perfectly, as inevitably, . . . as echo answers to sound.” KnowsWorldMayEndsMatterDoneFormDiesForceSoundAnswersGratitudeEternityVery GoodDeedsDestroyedRecognitionAtomsPhasesEchoesGood DeedsMultiplicityRough TimesUnendingWords Of GratitudeDeeds Done Book:The Power of Truth Source: The Power of Truth
“Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud-and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word. But in the night of Death Hope sees a star and listening Love can hear the rustling of a wing.” LooksTwoLife IsNightStarsAnswersCryListeningColdEternityWingsStriveLipsVainHeightEchoesBarrenVoicelessWailing Book:The Works of Robert G.
