Love Only Life Eternal
Because
we cannot endure perpetually the hardships of life, we seek rest in some
earthly thing. It may be our house, our family, our children, a little farm, an
orchard, or a book we have published. God allows us to suffer tribulations even
in these innocent delights in order that we may love only life eternal.
Otherwise, as travelers going to their country, we might choose the inn – this
world – instead of our true home: eternal life.
Saint
Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 313-386)
