VI. Hope of the New Heaven and the New Earth
1045
For man, this consummation will be the final realization of the unity of the
human race, which God willed from creation and of which the pilgrim Church has
been “in the nature of sacrament.”634 Those who are united
with Christ will form the community of the redeemed, “the holy city”
of God, “the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.”635 She will not be
wounded any longer by sin, stains, self-love, that destroy or wound the earthly
community.636 The beatific vision, in which God opens himself in an
inexhaustible way to the elect, will be the ever-flowing well-spring of
happiness, peace, and mutual communion.
