How not to think about heaven. It’s our reward for putting up with boring tasks such as prayer and mass and dealing with miserable things in this life – wrong!
St. Catherine of Siena said “The way to heaven, is heaven.” We can enjoy heaven every day by demonstrating love to others and helping others get to know Jesus.
The love that we demonstrate in this life, prepares us for the fulfillness of love when we will be in heaven. Our efforts to love others, willing the good of the other, should be a joy to us. The path of love is already an anticipation of heaven.
“Heaven is the life of love”, as said by many spiritual masters. In heaven faith and hope will fade away, but love remains because that is what heaven is, perfect love.
Don’t focus on being fair. All I should want is what is good for the other. Love burns away any preoccupation of being fair or envious, which is an example of the absence of love.
