“Most of us find it very difficult to want "Heaven" at all — except in so far as "Heaven" means meeting again our friends who have died. One reason for this difficulty is that we have not been trained: our whole education tends to fix our minds on this world. Another reason is that when the real want for Heaven is present in us, we do not recognise it. Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promise. The longings which arise in us when we first fall in love, or first think of some foreign country, or first take up some subject that excites us, are longings which no marriage, no travel, no learning, can really satisfy. I am not now speaking of what would be ordinarily called unsuccessful marriages, or holidays, or learned careers. I am speaking of the best possible ones. There was something we grasped at, in that first moment of longing, which just fades away in the reality. I think everyone knows what I mean. The wife may be a good wife, and the hotels and scenery may have been excellent, and chemistry may be a very interesting job: but something has evaded us. Now there are two wrong ways of dealing with this fact, and one right one.
(1) The Fool's Way. — He puts the blame on the things themselves. He goes on all his life thinking that if only he tried another woman, or went for a more expensive holiday, or whatever it is, then, this time, he really would catch the mysterious something we are all after…
(2) The Way of the Disillusioned "Sensible Man." — He soon decides that the whole thing was moonshine. "Of course," he says, "one feels like that when one's young. But by the time you get to my age you've given up chasing the rainbow's end." And so he setties down and learns not to expect too much and represses the part of himself which used, as he would say, "to cry for the moon." This is, of course, a much better way than the first, and makes a man much happier, and less of a nuisance to society. It tends to make him a prig (he is apt to be rather superior towards what he calls "adolescents"), but, on the whole, he rubs along fairly comfortably...
(3) The Christian Way. — The Christian says, “Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others to do the same."
There is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of "Heaven" ridiculous by saying they do not want "to spend eternity playing harps." The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grown-ups, they should not talk about them. All the scriptural imagery (harps, crowns, gold, etc.) is, of course, a merely symbolical attempt to express the inexpressible.”
CS Lewis

Orthodox and catholic Bible has all of the deuterocanonical books. In fact the orthodox services often reference them in liturgical practice.
The claim that 14 books were removed from the Bible is misleading. The Catholic Bible has always included 73 books, and no books were removed in 1684 or any other year. The confusion often arises from differences between Protestant and Catholic Bibles.
Protestant Bibles typically exclude the Deuterocanonical books (referred to as the Apocrypha), which include texts like Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, and 1 & 2 Maccabees. These were part of the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) but were later excluded by Protestants in the 19th century to save printing costs and due to doctrinal differences.
The Catholic Church still includes these books in its canon, while Protestant Bibles now have 66 books instead of 73.

Late-night thought: Almost every major decision I’ve made—whether it be marriage, career, investments—was against the advice of those closest to me. By the grace of God, they all turned out to be the right thing for me.
And yet, I can’t say I’d recommend this strategy to anyone else. I’ve seen this exact setup go the other way.

When the west lost religion, all it had left were remnants of virtues, aimlessly competing against each other:
courage
strength
wisdom
diversity
inclusion
ambition
safety
intelligence
Any virtue, if sought out as the ultimate good, becomes a false god. We worship them at our peril.
These gods come and go - in 2020 safety and control were our gods. Which one is next?
