414、天堂里的人不断地朝着青春年华迈进。他们越是活到数千年，他们就越更大地朝着喜乐、幸福青春迈进，这会持续到永远，并依照他们的爱、仁和信的增长和层级而增长。那些在世上因年老体衰而死去的妇女，如果她们曾经活在对主的信仰、对邻舍的仁爱以及和丈夫的美满的婚姻之爱中，那么随着岁月的流逝，将越来越进入花样年华和早期女性的状态，进入超出世人对眼见之美的一切概念的美丽中。良善和仁爱赋予这种形态，从而将它们自己的样式显现出来，使得仁爱的喜乐和美丽从面庞的每一个最微小地细节绽放出来，使她们成为仁爱的真正形态。有些人看见了她们，都惊愕不已。在天堂，以活生生的方式看到的仁爱的形态，正是仁爱本身——无论是给予的还是被给予的。这就使得整个天使都是仁爱，事实上，尤其是脸庞。这仁爱既能清晰可见，又能被感受到。当这种形态被人看到时，它的美丽无法言表，并以仁爱感染心智的至内层。总之，在天堂，变老就是变年轻。曾活在爱主仁邻中的人，在来世会变成这样的形态或如此的美丽。所有天使都是这种形态，并且千变万化，而天堂就是由这些构成的。

414. People in heaven are continually progressing toward the springtime of life. The more thousands of years they live, the more pleasant and happy is their springtime. This continues forever, increasing according to the growth and level of their love, thoughtfulness, and faith.
As the years pass, elderly women who have died of old age - women who have lived in faith in the Lord, thoughtfulness toward their neighbor, and in contented marriage love with their husbands - come more and more into the flower of growing youth and into a beauty that surpasses any notion of beauty accessible to our sight. Their goodness and thoughtfulness is what gives them their form and gives them its own likeness, making the pleasure and beauty of thoughtfulness radiate from every least corner of their faces so that they become actual forms of thoughtfulness. Some people have seen them and have been stunned. The form of thoughtfulness that is open to view in heaven is like this because it is thoughtfulness itself that both gives and is given visible form. In fact, it does this in such a way that the whole angel, especially her face, is virtually thoughtfulness itself appearing to open perception. When people look at this form, its beauty is unutterable, affecting the very inmost life of the mind with thoughtfulness. In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young. People who have lived in love for the Lord and in thoughtfulness toward their neighbor are forms like this, or beauties like this, in the other life. All angels are forms like this, in infinite variety. This is what makes heaven.

414. Those who are in heaven are continually advancing towards the spring of life, with a greater advance towards a more joyful and happy spring the more thousands of years they live; and this to eternity, with increase according to the growth and degree of their love, charity, and faith. Women who have died old and worn out with age, if they have lived in faith in the Lord, in charity to the neighbour, and in happy conjugial love with a husband, advance with the succession of years more and more into the flower of youth and early womanhood, and into a beauty that transcends every conception of any such beauty as is seen on the earth. Goodness and charity is what gives this form and thus manifests its own likeness, causing the joy and beauty of charity to shine forth from every least particular of the face, and causing them to be the very forms of charity. Some who beheld this were struck with amazement. The form of charity that is seen in a living way in heaven, is such that it is charity itself that both forms and is formed; and this in such a manner that the whole angel is a charity, as it were, especially the face; and this is both clearly seen and felt. When this form is beheld it is beauty unspeakable, affecting with charity the very inmost life of the mind. In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young. Such forms or such beauties do those who have lived in love to the Lord and in charity towards the neighbour become in the other life. All angels are such forms in endless variety; and of these heaven is constituted.

414. Qui in caelo sunt, continue ad vernum vitae pergunt et quo plura millia annorum vivunt, eo ad vernum jucundius et felicius, et hoc in aeternum, cum incrementis, secundum amoris, charitatis et fidei progressus et gradus. Ex sexu feminino, quae seniles ac senio confectae mortuae sunt, et in fide in Dominum, charitate erga proximum, et in amore conjugiali felici cum marito vixerunt, post annorum successum, magis et magis in juventutis et adolescentiae florem veniunt, inque pulchritudinem quae excedit omnem pulchritudinis ideam usquam visu perceptibilem bonitas et charitas est quae format, et sui simile sistit, et facit ut jucundum et pulchrum charitatis ex singularissimis faciei eluceat, sic ut ipsae charitatis formae sint visae sunt quibusdam, et obstupuerunt.
[2] Charitatis forma est talis, quae ad vivum conspicitur in caelo, quod ipsa charitas sit quae effigiat et effigiatur, et quidem sic, ut totus angelus, cumprimis facies, sit quasi charitas, quae manifeste et apparet et percipitur quae forma, cum spectatur, est pulchritudo ineffabilis afficiens charitate ipsam vitam mentis intimam. Verbo, senescere in caelo est juvenescere. Qui in amore in Dominum et in charitate erga proximum vixerunt, tales formae, seu tales pulchritudines, in altera vita fiunt omnes angeli tales formae sunt, cum innumerabili varietate; ex his caelum.
