                   I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught
                up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the

                    body I do not know God knows. And I know that this man

                 … was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things,
                         things that no one is permitted to tell. 2 Cor 12:2-4



                  “The Rising Sun has come to visit us to guide our feet in the

                                            way of peace” Lk 1:78,7



               In the last introduction we elaborated on what St JPII coined as
               the New & Divine Holiness. Let’s begin by looking at our current

               Pope using similar ideas-


               Pope Francis 2015 Encyclical: “Laudato Si'
               “The ultimate purpose of creatures is not to

               be found in us. Rather, all creatures are

               moving forward, with us and through us,
               towards a common point of arrival, which is

               God.” N.8. How we arrive at this point, I discussed in the last

               chapter, it’s by allowing God’s Divine Will (Divine Will) to reign
               in us. The quote is also a recognition that all of creation in

               animated by this Divine Will. As the next quote elaborates too-


               “As Christians, we are also called to accept the world as a

               sacrament of communion, as a way of sharing with God and
               our neighbours on a global scale. It is our humble conviction

               that the divine and the human meet in the slightest detail in the



                                                                                               15 | P a g e
