Verita (URIEL, THE ANGEL FROM THE STAR)
Vita
We are all here to carry out the will of Jesus which is "go, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Since God said this, he obviously wants us to do it. It's not complicated. It's a continuation of what Gabriel did when he said to Zachariah, "I am Gabriel who stand in God's presence and I have come to tell you what I heard." So as Paul Tillich says, the first duty of Love is to Listen to Love. Gabriel was by no means an eavedropper nor a gossip nor a bearer of false witness, but on the contrary, God asked him to be a messenger of heaven and he gladly obeyed. Where the jealous angel had give deadly fruit to us, the beautiful angel gave us the bread of life, announcing to Zacariah that a new era in earthly history was about to begin: the era of eternity. The Valanga di Vita has this as its mission, though it may fail continously, though it may be treated atrociously let us remember Mother Theresa, "God does not call us to be successful. He calls us to be faithful." And Jesus, "blessed are you when men hate you and persecute you and utter all manner of slander against you for my sake".
Did Jesus have a persecution complex? No, Herod did. When Jesus said to the Pharisees, why are you trying to kill me? They replied, who is trying to kill you? Not long after this, they killed him.
So, whether you want to visit heaven, study in heaven, work in heaven, or take up residence in heaven...your paradise adventure awaits at the edge of eternity.
