“When later he [St. Joseph] carried the Child in his arms, acts of loving faith welled up constantly in his heart. It was a worship that pleased our Lord more than that which he receives in heaven. Picture to yourself Saint Joseph, adoring the little Child in his arms as his God. He tells of his readiness to die for Christ, of all his plans to promote Christ's glory, and to win more souls to his love. No lover builds more scintillating plans for his loved one than a saint.” HeartChildrenLittlesSoulDiesWinningHeavenChristLordPlansArmsLoversWorshipGlorySaintLoved OnesSacramentsHis LoveOur LordReadiness Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“The plan was for Jesus to come to Earth two thousand years ago with a pocketful of miracles and souls for the people who were then alive. After his return to heaven from Earth he is going to build those mansions, come back before his generation dies out, finally put an end to the world which has been such a rotten disappointment, and deposit most of these souls in hell. No wonder heaven is only 12,000 furlongs wide, long, and high.” PeopleWorldYearsLongHas BeensTwoSoulEndsEarthDiesJesusHeavenWonderHellAlivePlansGenerationsAtheismReturnThousandYears AgoMiracleDisappointmentWideThousand YearsRottenMansionsDeposits Author:Ruth Hurmence Green

“Let's have a merry journey, and shout about how light is good and dark is not. What we should do is not future ourselves so much. We should now ourselves. "Now thyself" is more important than "know thyself." Reason is what tells us to ignore the present and live in the future. So all we do is make plans. We think that somewhere there are going to be green pastures. It's crazy. Heaven is nothing but a grand, monumental instance of future. Listen, now is good.

“Like the Roman town grid, the New York plan was laid down on largely empty land, a city designed in advance of being inhabited; if the Romans consulted the heavens for guidance in this effort, the city fathers of New York consulted the banks.” IfsFatherHeavenEffortCitiesPlansLandNew YorkEmptyTownsGuidanceGrids Author:Richard Sennett
“We have to trust the Lord God for so many things, and it is but one thing more to trust him in the issues of life and death, and to accept the fact that his plans and promises and purposes transcend the bounds of this world and of this life. With such faith the years are kind, and peace and reconciliation do come to those who have laid to rest their loved ones - who, even in death, are not far removed from us, and of whom our Father in heaven will be mindful until we meet again even as we are mindful of our own children.” WorldYearsKindChildrenFactsPurposeFatherHeavenPeaceAcceptingLordIssuesPlansOne ThingThis WorldPromiseBoundsThis LifeLife And DeathLoved OnesReconciliationOur FatherFather In HeavenLord GodUntil We Meet Again Author:Richard L.

“The good of the governed is the end, and rewards and punishments are the means, of all government. The government of the supreme and all-perfect Mind, over all his intellectual creation, is by proportioning rewards to piety and virtue, and punishments to disobedience and vice. ... The joys of heaven are prepared, and the horrors of hell in a future state, to render the moral government of the universe perfect and complete. Human government is more or less perfect, as it approaches nearer or diverges further from an imitation of this perfect plan of divine and moral government.” MindHumansMeanEndsStatesGovernmentJoyUniverseHeavenPerfectLibertyMoralHellVirtuePlansCreationDivineHorrorApproachIntellectualPreparedRewardsVicesSupremePunishmentImitationDisobediencePietyReward And Punishment Author:John Adams
