St. William of Vercelli, pray for us!
Heaven and Hell are both a state of mind, the heart's hope or the heart's despair. We live one or the other while we walk this earth for each is found within us. We know what we live by the fruits of our lives. Heaven produces joy, peace, acceptance, understanding, forgiveness while Hell produces the opposites. The discovery of Heaven within us is found only when we are willing to humble ourselves, get on our knees and acknowledge that there is a power greater than us. That power is God who is pure love and desires to give us everything even our free will to deny his existence and become like mini gods. Life is so much easier when we give up everything and seek the Father's will first. But we will never know this until we are willing to give it all up and humble ourselves before our mighty God.
Ezekiel 33: 14-16
Though I say to the wicked man that he shall surely die, if he turns away from his sin and does what is right and just, giving back pledges, restoring stolen goods, living by the statutes that bring life, and doing no wrong, he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of the sins he committed shall be held against him; he has done what is right and just, he shall surely live.

God bless!!
