What can we hope to share with them in the next life?
Several saints have had visions of heaven.
The first thing they all say is that heaven is indescribable—that no human language can successfully convey even a shadow of what they saw in their vision. Any attempt would fall short of the amazing reality.
However, they do attempt to describe for us certain elements of heaven which we can contemplate. Here are some excerpts from the saints in their own words:
St. Faustina Kowalska:
“Today I was in heaven, in spirit, and I saw its unconceivable beauties and the happiness that awaits us after death. I saw how all creatures give ceaseless praise and glory to God. I saw how great is happiness in God, which spreads to all creatures…they enter into the depths of God, contemplating the inner life of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…Now I understand St. Paul, who said, ‘Eye has not seen, nor has ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love him.’”
