Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 118

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

118. What we have just said in regard to an angel must also be said of heaven, which consists of angels, since the Divine in the greatest and least of things is the same, as we demonstrated above in nos. 77-82. What we have said of an angel and heaven must likewise be said of a person and the church, for an angel of heaven and a person of the church operate in union through their conjunction. Moreover, in respect to his interior elements, which are those of his mind, a person of the church is an angel. However, by a person of the church we mean one who has the church in him.
