A Shortcut for Weak Souls

At the Shrine of Mary (Velangkanni) in Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia

I’m very weak in many ways.
But I’m told that all our actions must be evaluated in the light of eternity, for that’s what we’re made for: it only ultimately ends in heaven or hell.
Our interactions with our neighbours must be evaluated in the light of eternity.
Our goodness and our evil must be evaluated in the light of eternity.
I can’t see this high.
I’m too weak for this.

The shortcut is to ask to live with the Church of Heaven now, every minute of every day.
How much easier it is to have friends and to continually converse with them, instead of making evaluations!
