Ascending to the Light of Heaven

The stairway of light

The laughter of children
The cooing of a baby
The love of a parent
The devotion of a pet
The sincerity of a friend
The wisdom of the elderly
The kindness from the heart
The understanding of a mistake

Above are only the beginning joys of the journey planned from our maker to his faithful. Much is given to the believer, for pure trust is the merging of the spirit into the wisdom of the ways, accept truth and prepare for one of the greatest stories ever, the adventures of your life.

Receive guidance each night
Go within to the peaceful dwelling house of our Father, where a safe haven for the soul receives comfort from the journey of your day. In the quiet of the night words are given to the stillness of your thoughts, this with the gentleness of peace will guide your ways to the truths of love, which in turn gives a calmness that surrounds spirit and allows hope to continue and give praise to our God.

For even as it is better to enlighten than merely to shine, so it is better to give to others the fruits of one’s contemplation than merely to contemplate.
-St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae, II-II, 188.6)
