They will reign forever and
ever:
• illuminated by God
(Revelation 22:3-5);
• immortal and
physically incorruptible (Revelation 21:4);
• with an
irreproachable conscience (1 Peter 3:21).
The Magisterium of the Church
speaks of heaven in many ways:
• as eternal life
(Denzinger, 640);
• as the eternal
fatherland (Denzinger 457);
• as heaven (Denzinger
464);
• as the kingdom of
heaven and celestial paradise
(Denzinger 530);
• as the vision and
fruition of God (Denzinger 530);
• as true beatitude
(Denzinger 530);
• as eternal rest
(Denzinger 530);
• as eternal beatitude
(Denzinger 570);
• as the vision of God
one and three (Denzinger 693);
• as glory (Denzinger
842);
• as eternal
retribution (Denzinger 836);
• as the supernatural
end (Denzinger 1669, 1786).
