WE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOREVER IN THE DEGREE OF LOVE WE REACH IN TIME

Last night, New Year’s Eve, I wrote my email with its ‘holy thought’ as usual, but not from the usual site (my desk). From my son’s kitchen table, where I sat party-sitting, it refused to budge and on my return home, at midnight, it had gone AWOL.  So belatedly, here it is:

 In eternity… time will be no more; we shall be established forever in the degree of love which we have reached now, in time.

If we have attained a high degree of love, we shall be fixed forever in that degree of love and glory; if we possess only a slight degree, that is all we shall have throughout eternity (Fr Gabriel, as previously).
