I came across this observation in St. Alphonsus Liguori's "Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ:"
"When the temporal goods of this world are in question, worldlings endeavor to procure as much as they can; but when it is a question of the goods of eternal life, they say, "It is enough if we get a little corner in Heaven!"'
Saints have a keen desire for the things of heaven. The rest of us, foolish creatures that we are, tend to fix our desire on less worthy things.
