Christ is the fountain,
not only of living water, but of eternal life.

 
St. Columban, 6th century

Eternal life
consists in the complete satisfaction of desire,
for there the blessed will be given
more than they wanted or hoped for.

 
St. Thomas Aquinas, 13th century

Eternal life does not merely mean a life that lasts forever
but rather a new quality of existence
fully immersed in God’s love which frees us from evil
and death, and places us in never-ending communion
with all our brothers and sisters who share in the same love.

 
Benedict XVI, 20th century

Admire all God’s works in the world,
but be ready to fix your eyes on the things destined
never to pass away.

 
St. John Paul II, 20th century

Blessed are those who love you, Lord, and their friends in you.
For they are the only ones who will never lose
anyone dear to them, since all who are dear to them
are in you, our God, who can never be lost.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

Blessed are those who love you, Lord, and their loved ones in you.
For they will never lose anyone dear to them,
since those who are close to them are in you, Our God,
who can never be lost.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

Every moment of every person's life
is precious in God's sight, and none must be wasted
through doubt and discouragement.

 
Servant of God, Fr. Walter Ciszek, 20th century

Before Christ's passion,
no one could enter the kingdom of heaven
to achieve the eternal happiness of enjoying God completely.

 
St. Thomas Aquinas, 13th century
