[Jesus] prepares for us that embrace with the Father,
the place for all eternity…
Jesus does not separate from us,
but has opened the way for us,
anticipating our final destination:
the encounter with God the Father,
in whose heart there is a place for each one of us.
--Pope Francis,
Homily, May 14, 2023
In the days
When it could be said I was one of you, I loved
The beyond as somebody only can who is bound
By the earth. All that I wrote was a hymn to desire,
To the semblances and stages of bliss.
--Mark Strand, Wallace Stevens Comes
