Life essentially is a preparation for eternity: a preparation that is free and supernatural. However, many don't care about it. Be prepared for our eternity:"Man goes to his eternal home" (Ecc. 12:5).
Preparation:
Of the mind, because the paradise is vision of God.
Of the will, paradise being the confirmation of the highest good, God;
Of the heart, heaven being a joy;
Of the body, which is destined to resurrection and to other glorious gifts and the satisfaction of righteous desires.
The preparation of the mind takes place through faith; the preparation of the will is done by observing the commandments and in general by doing God' will; the prepartion of the heart is done by means of grace and by growing in it; the preparation of the body by keeping it subdued to reason and to faith and by mortifying what is illicit.
