De Conjugio (Chadwick) n. 104

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

104. The inmost heaven, through which the Lord introduces conjugial love, is composed of those who there exceed the others in peace. Peace in the heavens is relatively like spring on earth, which makes everything pleasant and lively; it is heavenly pleasure itself in its essence. The angels who are there are the wisest of all, and as the result of their innocence they appear to others like children. They love children even more than their fathers and mothers loved them, and are present with pregnant women.
