To: Salvation

I’ve never understood, “If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out.” For it is better to enter the kingdom blind than to be left outside. Or, “If thy hand give offense, cut it off.” For it is better to enter crippled than to be left outside. I know these aren’t exact quotes, but you get the idea. The question is: Will our glorified bodies have the infirmities we have now?

That quote is in today’s Gospel! Check the Sermon on the Mount in the Catholic Caucus: Sunday Mass Readings

Then read this from the article

No, and that’s the point of the quote. Blindness would afflict us here on earth, not in heaven.

This is what I’m looking forward to!
