Vigil of the Ascension


Let us live as if we were already There.
Why do we on earth not strive to find rest with Him in heaven even now, through the faith, hope and love that unites us to Him? While in Heaven He is also with us; and we while on earth are with Him. He is here with us by His divinity, His power and His love. We cannot be be in heaven, as He is on earth, by divinity, but in Him, we can be there by love.
~ St. Augustine, Sermon for the Ascension

We on earth cannot find rest with Him because are minds are caught up with the fear of losing our earthly possessions.
