This is the only book you need to understand the boundless joys of Heaven and learn how to go there. You will discover what the Bible reveals about Heaven and its joys, as well as what the Church's greatest saints have said about them. You will also discover why Heaven is the place where you will experience bliss, happiness, delights of every kind, fulfillment of all desires, joy unbounded, and pleasure.
Although it is difficult for us to fully comprehend or appreciate the joys of Heaven, this book explores the various allusions to it that Scripture and the saints make in order to offer a wealth of material for your contemplation. You'll discover that Heaven is made up nearly entirely of spiritual concepts that, even with meditation, can only be understood by someone who is not consumed with this world and its possessions.
Fr. J. P. McCarthy offers clear instructions on how you might ensure Heaven in addition to describing what it is. You'll discover what to pray for, how to cultivate the virtues of faith, hope, and love, how to comprehend the breadth of God's love for you, and how to obtain the strength required to endure for an eternally joyful life.
You will increase your understanding of God by reading and reflecting on these pages, and you'll soon be able to think about the mysteries of the Holy Trinity in a richer, more fruitful way. You'll also discover:
- What the "lesser joys of Heaven" are
- Why love is the only theological virtue you can take from earth to Heaven
- What it means to store up treasures in Heaven
- What the Beatific Vision means
The best part is that you will find your true home in Heaven, where you will be greeted by loved ones, angels, and saints who are eager to meet you. In the wedding banquet that will last forever, you will experience the fullness of God's love for you while also partaking in the bodily resurrection and eternal life.
