Insights from the Bible and Servant of God Fulton Sheen on building our true home in heaven:

Resurrection Reminders

“Of all the things of life, a happy death is our principal concern.

For if we attain that, it matters little if we lose all the rest.

But if we do not attain that, nothing else is of any value.”

~ Blessed Junipero Serra ~

Fr. William Casey: Justification by Faith AND Works

"...there are some things, there really are some things that we're going to take with us when we have left this passing world--for example, the spiritual fruits of our faith, our prayers, our good works, the treasures that we have stored up in Heaven; and in a sense it is true to say that God is going to let us keep only as much as we were willing to give away in life, and what a terrible thing it would be to have to stand in judgement before God empty-handed."

St. Leonard of Port Maurice: "No One Goes To Hell Unless He Wants To"

"What is the use of knowing whether few or many are saved? Saint Peter says to us, "Strive by good works to make your election sure." When Saint Thomas Aquinas's sister asked him what she must do to go to heaven, he said, "You will be saved if you want to be." I say the same thing to you, and here is proof of my declaration. No one is damned unless he commits mortal sin: that is of faith. And no one commits mortal sin unless he wants to: that is an undeniable theological proposition. Therefore, no one goes to hell unless he wants to; the consequence is obvious. Does that not suffice to comfort you? Weep over past sins, make a good confession, sin no more in the future, and you will all be saved. Why torment yourself so? For it is certain that you have to commit mortal sin to go to hell, and that to commit mortal sin you must want to, and that consequently no one goes to hell unless he wants to. That is not just an opinion, it is an undeniable and very comforting truth; may God give you to understand it, and may He bless you. Amen."
