"only passing through"

Knight's Pond by Ann L. Krumrein

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come.  ~Hebrews 13:14

May the Virgin Mary, who watches over us from Heaven, help us not to forget that here on earth we are only passing through, and may she teach us to prepare ourselves to encounter Jesus, who is "seated at the right hand of the Father.  He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead."  ~Pope Benedict XVI, 8/12/07 Angelus

Dear Mary, Gate of Heaven, teach us that delicate balance of living in the present moment while seeking the things that are above.  Amen.
