'The greatest pain which the holy souls suffer in Purgatory proceeds from their desire to possess God. This suffering especially afflicts those who in life had but a feeble desire of heaven.'

This quote makes me pray for a greater desire for Heaven, a continual one!  Cheesy

I feel a great desire too, more so during prayer, but then I feel I am unprepared yet and need to purge myself of many faults by prayer and penance. Also now that I have the responsibility of four souls I feel that God should give me some more years before He calls me.  And yet that beautiful thought is always at the back of my mind.

I want it. I want it. I want it. And I pray and have confidence that He will hear my prayers, but give me a chance to purify myself.
