This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Now, we've been meditating on the last things.

And today we come to the best.

The new heavens and the new earth and the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.

But there's a problem. I think many people don't really look forward to heaven. Now, don't get me

wrong, they think it's better than the alternative. They'd rather go to

heaven than hell. But most do not passionately long for heaven. Well, how do we change this?

How do we foster in ourselves and others the desire for heaven? How do we get people excited about it when they're not already?

Well, the same way you get them to desire anything. You use your imagination and you get desirable

images which will fire up your desire for heaven. Fortunately, we don't have to look very far to get great images of heaven.

For scripture tells us that heaven will be, heaven will be a new heavens and a new earth

in which the whole universe is raised up and transformed.

New heavens and a new earth means everything good will be in heaven.

All the good things of this life, but none of the troubles of this life.

Imagine all the great things of this life.

Then imagine them without any imperfection, without any limitation,

and without any end. They will be everlasting. That is heaven. Imagine, Sandy, all of the good things

of me without any of my imperfections.
