AC 945 - rating pleasures

AC 945
If while living in luxury, grandeur, and splendor,
they have at the same time lived in faith in the Lord
and in charity towards the neighbor,
they are among the happy in the next life.
For the idea that heaven is merited
by renouncing the enjoyments of life
and by renouncing power and wealth,
and so by suffering hardship is untrue.
What the Word means by such renunciation
is rating pleasures as well as power and wealth as nothing
in comparison with the Lord,
and the life of the world as nothing
in comparison with heavenly life.
