Just don't try to make that heaven on earth because what you'll end up making is hell on earth. This is because the person who wants so much to create the Utopia will impose his Utopia on everyone else. It has to be his beautiful dream and, in the end, you either buy into it and become a loyal devotee or you're out. Thus cults are born and people are destroyed.

Instead live simply. Try to pray more. Don't look for an earthly Messiah. Be suspicious of those wonderful priests and charismatic leaders and perfect parishes. At the same time, don't condemn them when they fail. Don't lapse into cynicism and disappointment. You were never supposed to have a kingdom here anyway. Look to your own sins. Laugh at your pride. Plead that your sins will be overcome. Look to Jesus the author and finisher of the faith. Ask to be conformed more and more to his likeness, then live that love you've been given for others.

Then, maybe just maybe, you'll begin to live a little bit of heaven on earth as you get yourself ready for your second home.
