Question 10.170

10.170 Eternity, in three words?

Life, love, and communion.

Eternity is a great wheeling motion, exaltation forever, plunging into the life of God, into the love of God, and into God’s trinitarian communion.

Eternity is the present moment. Eternity is in the palm of your hand. Eternity is a sowing with fire, which suddenly takes root and breaks down the barriers that prevent our hearts from being a deep abyss.

Eternity is you, Lord. And we find you in love and communion: you in me and I in you and you in them and them with me for eternity.
