"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
John 14:1-3
"And so now I give a new commandment to you - love each other just as I love you."
John 13:34
From a beautiful rose garden, Our Lord looked down and plucked a beautiful rose to come and live with Him in glory.
