Of your own power...

Aquinas suggests that the angels fell because they would only accept heaven if they could get it of their own power. They did not want eternal bliss if they could only receive it as a gift from the hands of Infant in the manger.

And you, little soul? Will you accept heaven even if you cannot get there of your own power?
