"At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love."

                           - St. John of the Cross

For Reflection:

How much do I love God? What about my life reflects the reality of my love? Where does selfishness, lack of forgiveness & personal sin hold me bound?

How will that great transformation be effected?  What will be the conditions and the new form of our earth when, after it has been destroyed and completely transfigured by fire, it will no longer be watered by the sweat of man, and will have ceased to be the troubled, blood-stained arena of our strife and passions?
