The Happiness Of Heaven by Fr. J. Boudreau, S.J.
The Happiness of Heaven explains that a high degree of glory in heaven is within the reach of all baptized souls -- however poor, ignorant or insignificant they may be here below. The greatest and happiest in heaven will be those who led the holiest lives on earth -- not necessarily those who in this world possessed the greatest intelligence, talent, beauty or education. In heaven, no one can look upon the glorious sight of God without great joy and without becoming God-like and beautiful himself. Thus, a soul in heaven is filled to overflowing with all knowledge; it becomes beautiful with the beauty of God, rich with his wealth, holy with his holiness, and happy with his unutterable happiness.
