XXXVI. De incremento gloriae in resurrectione
XXXVI. De incremento gloriae in resurrectione
And all these, according to how they served their Creator, inspired by Him, in good works, will receive joys beyond measure and the beauty of ineffable ornaments; they are blessed and will be called blessed in the judgment of my Father at the resurrection. There, they will receive much greater joys than they have now, since they currently rejoice only in their souls, but then they will have joys in both body and soul, which are so ineffable that no mortal creature can explain them in this world.
Read the original Latin
Et hi omnes secundum quod Creatori suo, ipso inspirante, in bonis operibus servierunt, gaudia gaudiorum et decorem inefTabilium ornamentorum recipiunt, et benedicti sunt, ac in resurrectionis judicio bencdicti Patris mei vocabuntur; et ibi multo majora gaudia accipient, quam nunc habeant, cum modo solum in anima gaudeant, tunc autem et corpore et anima gaudia habituri sunt, quae tam ineffabilia sunt, quod ea nulla creatura mortali saeculo explicabit.
