“We cannot love sin during life and begin to love virtue at death.  The joys of heaven are the continuance of the Christ-like joys of earth.  We do not develop a new set of loves with our last breath.  We shall reap in eternity only what we sowed on earth.  Then let not our presuming moderns who pile sin on sin think that they can insult God until their lease on life has run out and then expect an eternal lease on one of the Father’s mansions.  Did He who went to Heaven by a Cross intend that you should go there by sinning?”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Seven Virtues)
