Heavenward Thoughts

(Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseilles, France, which raises our minds heavenward!)

Whatever makes our souls and hearts and minds soar heavenward is to our benefit -- nature, architecture, spiritual reading, love!

"I cannot think much about the happiness that awaits me in Heaven. One sole expectation makes my heart beat fast. It is the love that I shall receive and the love that I shall be able to give."

~ St. Therese of Lisieux, excerpted from Novissima Verba - The Last Conversations of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, collected by Rev. Mother Agnes of Jesus.
