Our life here on Earth has as its purpose precisely to prepare for our eternal happiness. This world is a large womb. It is a 'test' as all opportunities are tests.

If we had absolute proof instead of clues, then you could no more deny God than you could deny the sun. If we had no evidence at all, you could never get there. God gives us just enough evidence so that those who want him can have him.

The first rule for prayer, the most important first step, is not about how to do it, but to just do it not to perfect and complete it but to begin it. Once the car is moving, it's easy to steer it in the right direction, but it's much harder to start it up when it's stalled. And prayer is stalled in our world.

Most people believe you have to have some moral absolutes if you want to hold back chaos.
Peter Kreeft

Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.

The self is like a baseball. Throw it back to the divine pitcher who pitched it to you in the first place, and the game of love goes on. Hold it, and the game is over. That is the difference between Heaven and Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.
