About this episode

The episode discusses how the reality of heaven influences our lives today, offering wisdom for dealing with life's challenges.

Heaven is more than a future destination—it is a reality that begins to shape our lives today. Fr. Gregory and Rebecca offer practical wisdom for navigating discouragement, suffering, and those moments when life feels anything but heavenly. Through friendship, gratitude, rest, and a renewed awareness of God's presence, we can learn to see beyond the valley and keep our eyes fixed on heaven. Today, we are reading Part 4: In Praise of Brother Lawrence, pages 119-121. To get your copy of the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/catholicclassics
