Those who have been Christians all their lives will have the satisfaction that they have done the work of the master as much as they could. That is a great reward, and those who are saved just before they die never have this joy. Here is how an older sister of St. Therese of Lisieux explained it to her when she was a child. She was wondering how everyone could be happy in Heaven when some obtained more glory from God than others. Her sister put two glasses on the table, one bigger than the other. She filled both, then asked: Which glass is fuller? Her point was that everyone will be as happy as they are capable of being.
