“In heaven there will be the happy society of all the blessed, and this society will be especially delightful. Since each one will possess all good together with the blessed, and they will love one another as themselves, they will rejoice in the others’ good as their own. It will also happen that, as the pleasure and enjoyment of one increases, so will it be for all: ‘The dwelling in you is as it were of all rejoicing.’” [Ps 86:7 Vulgate].— St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) [Angelic] Doctor of the Church, “Expositio in Symbolum Apostolorum [The Apostles’ Creed”], translated by Joseph B. Collins (1939)
