Magnificat - Your Life is Everlasting

So, what, then, is the goal of this book and the journey it offers? To rediscover that, despite our certain death, we do not have two lives to live. Our eternal life began the day we came into the world. Our life, here below and in the great beyond, is one. And so: Living a Christian life is already living your eternal life; Living a Christian life is already living in God’s own life; Living a Christian life is being “commissioned” Savior of the world, as a member of the Body of Christ; Living a Christian life is living in the graceful trajectory of an invincible hope in our eternal life in heaven. Pierre-Marie Dumont ETERNAL… OR ETERNAL? The first meaning of the word “eternal” is “that which is outside time, with neither a beginning nor an end.” Since creatures have a beginning in time, God alone can be said to be eternal. However, the adjective “eternal” can also be used in its literary sense: “that which is without end, which will never stop exist- ing.” This definition takes into account the fact that, after our death, we are destined to join eternity, through participation in the fullness of divine life, for a life outside of time that will have no end.
