Verbum Humanum

The Christian's hope for "another life" is not foolish.  Indeed, "another life" which will be inaugurated at Christ's second coming, and which we already have a foretaste of in the new birth and through the means of grace, is an "anchor for the soul".  But though, as pilgrims and sojourners, we look forward to eternity with eager expectation, let us not "elude the implacable grandeur of this life".  It's in the little things: your child running to hug you when you walk though the door, a glass of wine shared with your spouse, an afternoon spent in the country, soaking up the sun.

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
