These words of St. Augustine, which have been echoed by the saints throughout the ages, seem foreign to us. It seems as if these saints do not enjoy life. On the contrary, they love life. This love for life can be seen by the love they show the poor, the vulnerable and all mankind. The saints’ love of the created world can be seen in their prose and songs of flowers and animals and sun and moon and stars.
The saints; however, have a keen insight that life in its full will be realized when we sit at the foot of our Heavenly Father and peer into his eyes. St. Augustine, when reflecting on how it will be for us in heaven wrote these words, “Instead of the ray of light which was sent through slanting and winding ways into the heart of your darkness, you will see the light itself in all its purity and brightness.”
Lord, help us to always see and be your rays of light on this earth as we hope to eternally live in the glory of your light in heaven.
