Our Hard Thought for Eternity

God has fitted us into his great plan...If Christ is the beginning and the end, then he embraces us and our lives, and our short days are taken up into his endless time.
 
Fr. Joseph Lienhard, S.J.
 
We must never lose our sense of the eternal placed deep within each of us. It is so easy to do. We become so occupied with living our lives that we forget them. We are soul/body. He has bought us with His Holy Blood. In class, in the work-out room, in the car, at the job, at play, creating, etc.. we will live much better and with more lucidity if we keep a sense of Other. God is Other. Jesus brings the Other to us and takes us into the Other. He is our Hard Thought for eternity. Hold on to Him in your daily thinking no matter what you are facing or have faced. He is in this moment as you read this, ever thinking of you. This will never change. Selah
