Divine Love and Wisdom (Harleys) n. 118

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

118. The same as has now been said about an angel must be said about heaven which consists of angels, since the Divine is the same in greatest and in least things (as was shown above n. 77-82). The same as has been said about an angel and about heaven must be said about man and the Church. For an angel of heaven and a man of the Church act as one through conjunction. Further, a man of the Church is an angel in respect of the interiors which are of his mind. But by a man of the Church is understood a man in whom the Church is.
