Yesterday, we celebrated the Solemnity of All Saints. Our goal
as Christians is to reach Heaven. More important than the goals we set in our education
or career, the end game is to be united with Christ, and the path isn’t an easy
one. The world and those around us make it difficult. Our own choices lead us
astray. And through it all, we’re called to hold the course and fix our eyes on
Christ. However, the reward is greater than anything our imaginations can comprehend.
As Catholics, we’re lucky to have Christ’s physical presence
in the Eucharist. However, much like at Christ’s own baptism, in heaven, we
will be together with the entirety of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
No movie or book (except the Bible) can describe what it’s like to be in the
presence of God in Heaven, and the only way to know what it’s like is to get
there. The Destination is worth the struggle of the journey.
