“It was a paradise of learning, and I prayed for eventual admission.”
“All paradises have gates,” Falchi said. “You’d wonder why God made Paradise with an exit if he didn’t anticipate having to use it eventually.”
“...but most roads I have learned from past experience lead somewhere eventually.”
“Learn to pray. Pray often. Pray in your mind, in your heart. Pray on your knees. Prayer is your personal key to heaven. The lock is on your side of the veil. And I have learned to conclude all my prayers with ‘Thy will be done’ (Matthew 6:10; see also Luke 11:2; 3 Nephi 13:10).”
“I know paradise has many gates, just as hell does. One has to learn to distinguish between them, or one is lost.”
“I wondered what it was to pray, because it was something I have never learned to do, and all I remember is falling.”
