IV. “I Want to See God”
There will true glory be,
where no one will be praised by mistake or flattery; true honor will not be
refused to the worthy, nor granted to the unworthy; likewise, no one unworthy
will pretend to be worthy, where only those who are worthy will be admitted.
There true peace will reign, where no one will experience opposition either
from self or others. God himself will be virtue’s reward; he gives virtue and
has promised to give himself as the best and greatest reward that could
exist…. “I shall be their God and they will be my people….” This
is also the meaning of the Apostle’s words: “So that God may be all in
all.” God himself will be the goal of our desires; we shall contemplate
him without end, love him without surfeit, praise him without weariness. This
gift, this state, this act, like eternal life itself, will assuredly be common
to all.345
