HH 268 - such is His Divine love

HH 268
. . . in the heavens there is a communication of all things;
intelligence and wisdom are communicated from one to another,
and heaven is a common sharing of all goods;
and this for the reason that heavenly love is such
that it wishes what is its own to be another's;
consequently no one in heaven perceives his own good in himself to be good
unless it is also in another;
and this is the source of the happiness of heaven.
This the angels derive from the Lord, for such is His Divine love.
