A Ladder

“Our blessed Lord said that unless the seed fall to the ground and die, it will not spring forth into life. Nothing is reborn to a higher life without a death to a lower one. The heart has its cycles as well as the planets and the movement of the heart is an upward spiral and not a circle which turns in upon itself. The crisis of nothingness which follows a dream come true, needs its purification and its cross. And its cross is not a roadblock on the way to happiness. It is a ladder of which one climbs to the very heaven of love itself.”
~Fulton Sheen
