Heaven is a communion of all good things, because heavenly love wills that what is its own should be another's; conse- quently no one in heaven perceives his own good in himself as good, unless it be also in another. Thence also is the happiness of heaven. The angels derive from the Lord this disposition to communicate, for such is the nature of the Divine Love.
