More From Alphonsus Liguori

...bliss is not something to be got. on the other hand you are always bliss. this desire [for bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness. to whom is this sense of incompleteness? enquire. in deep sleep you were blissful. now you are not so. what has interposed between that bliss and this non-bliss? it is the ego. seek its source and find you are bliss.
Sleep Hands Ego
Have faith to keep all the commandments of god, knowing that they are given to bless his children and bring them joy. [you] will encounter people who pick which commandments they will keep and ignore others that they choose to break. i call this the cafeteria approach to obedience. this practice of picking and choosing will not work. it will lead to misery. to prepare to meet god, one keeps all of his commandments. it takes faith to obey them, and keeping his commandments will strengthen that faith.

Baptism into this church is a serious thing. it represents a covenant made with our heavenly father. it is much more than a right of passage. it is a gateway to a new manner of living, and a new road on which to walk that leads to immortality and eternal life. it was never intended as a dead end. it was intended to open a glorious and wonderful way of life to all who would walk in obedience to the commandments of god.

Meditate upon the knowledge and bliss eternal , and you will also have bliss. the bliss indeed is eternal, only it is covered and obscured by ignorance. the less your attachment is towards the senses, the more will be your love towards god .
Ignorance Attachment Bliss
All of us must walk the same strait and narrow path, know the same kind of experiences as those we would seek to lead and to serve. there is not one strait and narrow path for the officers-the chosen-and another for the enlisted men. we are all to experience life "according to the flesh"; there is no other way, for it is the way to immortality and eternal life. given the resplendent riches of the promised kingdom, why would anyone wish to walk another path than the one that leads us back to our gracious and merciful father in heaven?

Expulsion from paradise is in its main aspect eternal: that is to say, although expulsion from paradise is final, and life in theworld unavoidable, the eternity of the process (or, expressed in temporal terms, the eternal repetition of the process) nevertheless makes it possible not only that we might remain in paradise permanently, but that we may in fact be there permanently, no matter whether we know it here or not.
