Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him.” 1 Peter 1:3, 8. St. Thomas Aquinas said, “God’s love for us is not greater in heaven than it is now.”

Let us pray, Heavenly Father, You have given us all, Your Son, the Holy Spirit, and life eternal with You. We pray one day to see Your tender heart, face to face, in indescribable joy, for all eternity. May we live in Your love now, today, and so reveal You to all we meet. May love be our way. Amen.
