“Eternity is not the negation of time, but time’s absolute wholeness, gathering and restoration. Eternal life is not what begins after temporal life; it is the eternal presence of the totality of life. Christianity is a blessed memory; it is really the conquering all of fragmented time; it is the experience of eternity, here and now.”
(The Journals of Father Alexander Schmemann 1973-1983, pg. 11)
May you always be blessed with the sense of the presence of God in your life.
