About the title
Yes, I am aware that St. Thomas Aquinas might appear to contradict CS Lewis. However, is it not true that there is a sense in which the quote from Lewis is applicable in this life at least, especially since our life here could be a prelude of eternal life? We are told to abandon ourselves to Divine Providence in the Present Moment. Certainly this includes embracing the cross of anxiety and the uncertainity that comes with relinquishing control over the big picture? And when we do this, do we not receive a small foretaste of Christ's victory over sin and death? And is not the phrase "pains in heaven" a beautiful description of this aspect of our interior life?
