2133. On two or three occasions, in the Lord's Divine mercy, heaven was for me opened so wide that I heard a general glorification of the Lord. Several communities were giving glory to the Lord simultaneously and unitedly. Nevertheless each community did so on its own, from its own particular affections and consequent ideas. It was a heavenly sound that I heard coming from far and wide, and so widespread that it extended beyond the range of my hearing, just as the universe extends beyond that of the eye beholding it. And all this involved inmost joy and happiness. I have also perceived glorification of the Lord sometimes as a beam of light flowing down and affecting the interior parts of the mind. This glorification takes place when those communities are in a state of serenity and peace, for at such times glorification is an expression of their inmost joys and happiness itself.
