Those, however, that will now arise through Christ in the first resurrection, that is, the resurrection which takes place through repentance, will also arise there through Christ in the Resurrection of life everlasting, and He will take them with Him into the everlasting kingdom in the presence of the Heavenly Father for evermore. Then for their virtues and for their good works, the righteous will receive a vast reward, to wit, the Lord Himself, from whom they got those virtues and good works; for the Lord will be there the fullness of every happiness and delight for the Church. 'Tis He then that will be seen for ever by the Church, without limit, without end, that will be loved without tedium, that will be praised without wearinwss; for this is, of a truth, the everlasting life which is promised to the saints and to the righteous after resurrection, the presence of the noble, holy Trinity, Father and Son and Holy Ghost.
