Goodness shapes our will, and truth shapes our understanding.

Charity is to will and do what is just and right in every transaction.

The nature of heaven is to provide a place there for all who lead good lives, no matter what their religion may be.

Anyone can see that intending and not acting when we can is not really intending, and loving and not doing good when we can is not really loving.

In heaven there are two distinct loves, love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor, in the inmost or third heaven love to the Lord, in the second or middle heaven love towards the neighbor.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
