GENERAL AUDIENCE: GOD INDICATES THE PATH OF JUSTICE
VATICAN CITY, SEP 10, 2003 (VIS) - This morning the Pope came from Castelgandolfo by car to the Vatican where at 10:30 a.m. the general audience took place in St. Peter's Square. The theme of this Wednesday's catechesis was the Canticle of Ezekiel, "God will renew His people."
Commenting on this hymn, John Paul II said that the prophet Ezekiel "was a witness of one of the most tragic periods experienced by the Jewish people: the collapse of the reign of Judah and the capital Jerusalem, followed by the bitter event of the Babylonian exile."
"The context of this page," he said, "transformed into a hymn from the liturgy, demonstrates the profound meaning of the tragedy which the people underwent in those years. ... But God is not indifferent to good and evil; He enters mysteriously on the scene of humanity's history with His judgement which, sooner or later, discovers evil, defends victims and indicates the path of justice."
The Holy Father indicated that "the aim of God's action is never ruin, pure and simple condemnation, destruction of the sinner. ... In fact, humanity is destined to be born into a new life. ... Our 'heart of stone', cold and insensitive, a sign of the obstinacy of evil, will be torn from our chest. God will give us instead a 'heart of flesh', font of life and love. In this way," he concluded, "a 'new life' will emerge ... of new creatures, transformed by the Spirit of the Risen Christ."
After greeting pilgrims in different languages at the end of the audience the Pope noted that tomorrow he begins "with great hope" his third apostolic trip to Slovakia, "a land enriched by the testimony of the heroic disciples of Christ who left eloquent footprints of sanctity in the history of the Nation. I invite you to join me in prayer. I entrust this apostolic trip to the Mother of the Redeemer, so venerated in Slovakia. May she guide my steps and obtain for the Slovakian people a renewed springtime of faith and civil progress." AG/CANTICLE EZEKIEL/... VIS 030910 (350)

A Travel Guide To Heaven
If heaven’s so great, why aren’t most of us more excited about getting there?
A recent Newsweek poll reports that 76 percent of Americans believe in heaven. Yet even avid believers have difficulty conjuring up more than vague images of halos, harps, and wispy angels in flowing robes. Anthony DeStefano?Create knew there had to be a more complete, meaningful vision of what heaven is like, and A TRAVEL GUIDE TO HEAVEN is the entertaining and enlightening result.
Using the Bible as his guide, along with an extraordinary sense of logic, fun, and adventure, DeStefano?Create set out to look for clues about the place called heaven: what will it look like? What will we look like? What will there be for us to do? Will we have pets? He learned that this highly spiritual place is actually very physical.
In fact, heaven can be best compared to a five-star luxury resort, more exquisite than a Hawaiian sunset, more thrilling than Alpine skiing, more fun than a wicked game of tennis, and more riveting than the best novel. After all, it was created by the One who created everything!
A TRAVEL GUIDE TO HEAVEN provides a delicious preview of a place bursting with beauty, excitement, challenges, fun, and perfect delight. Forever.
