ETERNAL LIFE

For Christians, eternal life does not just mean a life that lasts forever, but a new quality of existence, fully immersed in the love of God that frees us from evil and death and places us in endless communion with all our brothers and sisters who participate in the same Love. Thus, eternity can already be present at the centre of earthly and temporal life when the soul, through grace, is joined to God, its ultimate foundation.

Pope Benedict
