Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION Heaven on earth seems an impossible contradiction. In the new Jerusalem, John writes in the Book of Revelation, there is no pain, mourning or tears. But as distant as the pristine holy city appears, Jesus offers us a key to the kingdom of God in his new commandment: “As I have loved you, so should you love one another.” To show each other the love that God shows us is to unlock the doors of new life right here, right now. “Love,” says Jesuit author Mark Link, “is not only a sign of the kingdom’s presence, but also the power by which it reaches completion.”
