St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“You have been asking in your heart how it is the Blessed Mother could be sad in Heaven over the sins in the world. Remember, there is no element of time in Heaven. Therefore, emotions are not confined or dictated by a time frame.”

“Take, for instance, this little flower. [He is now holding a small, little flower.] When you see it, you appreciate its beauty; yet in your heart you realize it is not long until it will wither and die. So, in the same moment, you enjoy the flower but realize its beauty is brief, and so you have a little sadness in your heart, too. That is as closely as I can relate to you how Our Blessed Mother can feel the joys of Heaven and still weep for the sins of mankind all at once.”

“You cannot fully realize what it is like to exist outside of time in this life.”
