"The saints in heaven all speak the same language, and they favor one tense for their verbs: the present tense. Safe from all threat of sin and defection, they sing in the eternal now of the divine glory: 'To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever' (Rev 5:13). The saints live forever in the 'today' of heaven, sharing in the eternal life of He Who Is (Exod 3:14).
"Here on earth, we too must hear God's voice 'today' and in the present moment (see Ps 95:7). . . ."
In a recent commentary, Brother Linus Martz, O.P., reflected on grace and living in the present.
