“It is not to be thought that life is a snare or an illusion because the bubbles cease in a champagne glass.  No true unhappiness comes to human beings unless they place their hearts in a false infinite.  Those who see that all human life is nothing but Divine Love on pilgrimage will use it as a kind of Jacob’s ladder to climb back again through virtue to the source of all love which is God himself.  Such spiritual fires never cool, because they are not fed by glands, but glow with the coals lighted at the furnace of heaven.  To be enthusiastic in that case is to live out the meaning of the word, for enthusiasm comes from two Greek words meaning ‘to be in God.’”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Life is Worth Living)
