Todays Reflection The God of life is a personal God and only when man enters into the dialogue with him does he begin to realize his dreams. In this conversation he learns the fundamental principles of his being – adoration, veneration, love, trust. . .The realm of the personal God is heaven, that is to say it is the sum total of all that man considers to be his life’s greatest happiness, fulfillment and more. It is not primarily a place or a period of time or anything like that. It is fundamentally God himself – a conscious union with him. Anyone who has achieved that union is in heaven. . .We must aim at heaven with all our strength. Man will have to relearn, much more positively and intensively than before, that life leads from the personal dialogue with God to the actual personal encounter and the experience of unity with God. He will have to learn that this is his heaven and his real, his only home. -Father Alfred Delp, S.J. I have often raised my hand in the silence of the night and in my solitary cell, blessing you all and presenting you to Jesus and to our seraphic father, St. Francis of Assisi.
