We are but travelers on a journey without as yet a fixed abode; we are on our way, not yet in our native land; we are in a state of longing, but not yet of enjoyment. But let us continue on our way . . . so that we may ultimately arive at our destination.
-St. Augustine (4/3 calendar)
I am every day more convinced that happiness in heaven is for those who know how to be happy on earth.
-St. Josemaria Escriva (4/4 calendar)
As the Lord's sheep, let us set out for those pastures where we shall keep joyful festival with so many of our fellow citizens . . . Let us stir up our hearts, rekindle our faith, and long eagerly for what heaven has in store for us.
-St. Gregory the Great
Resolve from now on to keep heaven before your mind, to be ready to forego everything that can hinder you or cause you to stray on your journey there.
-St. Francis de Sales
