Happiness will be complete for everyone who arrives in Heaven. If we observe the sky on a starry night, we will inevitably be filled with admiration and awe at its beauty and grandeur. I dare say that, even if we had no other spectacle to enchant our eyes in Heaven, it would already be immense glory. According to Saint Augustine, it is easier to say what things are not in Heaven than to say what things are there. In Heaven, we will contemplate, rest, praise, and love.
Many authors and theologians have tried to describe Heaven as a place where there will be no suffering, hunger, thirst, fatigue, injustices, pain, or death. However, this description is considered limited, as Heaven is much more than the absence of evil. It is happiness that surpasses human desires, activity without fatigue, rest without boredom, knowledge without veils, greatness without excess, love without a desire for possession, forgiveness without memory, gratitude without dependency, friendship without jealousy, and companionship without hindrance.
According to testimonies from the saints, Heaven cannot be located in a specific physical place; rather, it is a state in which human beings will find the happiness they seek and will keep it for all eternity. In Heaven, we will enjoy being human with soul and body, being that reward to fully enjoy according to our nature. It is a communion of love with the Trinity, the Virgin Mary, and the Saints.
Jesus speaks to us in the Gospel about Heaven in a way that we can understand. Heaven is described as the sum of all happy moments, fulfilled desires, and the realization of earthly passions. The idea is that Heaven far exceeds anything we can imagine as happiness on Earth. The means to live always in grace include prayer, evasion of the temptations of sin, sacrifice, sacramental practice, devotion to the Virgin Mary, and living the Beatitudes.
In Heaven, a supreme and complete happiness will be experienced in communion with God. The testimonies of the saints who have glimpsed Heaven speak of incomparable beauty and majesty. Although earthly descriptions fail to reflect the entirety of celestial bliss, the image of Heaven is presented as unimaginably grand.
