What
greater happiness or higher honour could we have than to be with God, to be
made like him and to live in his light?
Therefore, since each of us possesses God in his heart and is being transformed
into his divine image, we also should cry out with joy: It is good for us to be
here – here where all things shine with divine radiance, where there is joy and
gladness and exultation; where there is nothing in our hearts but peace,
serenity and stillness; where God is seen.
For here, in our hearts, Christ
takes up his abode together with the Father, saying as he enters: 'Today
salvation has come to this house'. With Christ, our hearts receive all the
wealth of his eternal blessings, and there where they are stored up for us in
him, we see reflected as in a mirror both the first fruits and the whole of the
world to come.
