My little children, reflect on these words: the Christians treasure is not on earth but in Heaven.  Our thoughts, then, ought to be directed to where our treasure is.  This is the glorious duty of man: to pray and to love.  If you pray and love, that is where a man's happiness lies.

Prayer is nothing else but union with God.  When one has a heart that is pure and united with God, he is given a kind of serenity and sweetness that makes him estatic, a light that surrounds him with marvelous brightness.

from catechetical instructions by St. John Marie Vianney, priest
