“To perform little deeds as if they were great because of the majesty of Jesus Christ, who performs them in us; and to perform great deeds as though they were small because He is all-powerful.”

Blaise PASCAL (1623-1662)
Mathematician, physician, inventor and philosopher

“The raging multitude of the Saints is like a vast army of cyclones, hurling itself upon God with a blast able to uproot the nebulae, and this for all eternity…”
“It will be a firmament of differentiated, inconceivable splendors. The Saints will rise to God like lightning, supposing that lightning doubled itself in strength, second by second, forever and ever, their charity ever growing along with their brilliance – ineffable Stars who will be followed at an enormous distance by all those who will have known only the Face of Jesus Christ and who will have been unaware of His Heart. As for the others, the poor Christians called practicing, the observers of the easy Letter, yet not perverse, and capable of a certain generosity, they will follow in their turn, not being lost, at a distance of billions of lightning flashes, having previously paid for their places at an unutterable price, but joyful all the same – infinitely more so than could express the rarest lexicon of happiness – and joyous precisely at the incomparable glory of their elders, joyful in depth and in width, joyful as the Lord when He finished creating the world!”
“And all, as I have said, will climb together like a tempest without lull, the beatific tempest of the endless end of ends, an assumption of cataracts of love, and such will be the Garden of Delights, the indefinable Paradise named in the Scriptures.” 1907

Léon BLOY (1846-1917)
