Additional quotes by Dante Alighieri

Si deseáramos estar más elevadas, nuestro anhelo estaría en desacuerdo con la voluntad de Aquel que nos reúne aquí, desacuerdo que no admiten las esferas celestes, como verás si consideras bien que aquí es condición necesaria estar unidas a Dios por medio de la caridad y que la naturaleza de la caridad es ella misma, es decir, conformarse a la voluntad del ser amado. También es necesario a nuestra existencia bienaventurada uniformar la propia voluntad a la de Dios, de modo que nuestras mismas voluntades se refundan en una. Así es que el estar como estamos distribuidas de grado en grado por este reino configura la naturaleza del mismo, porque place al Rey cuya voluntad es la nuestra. En su voluntad está nuestra paz; ella es el mar a donde va a parar todo lo que ha creado o lo que hace la Naturaleza.

That infinite and indescribable good
which is there above races as swiftly
to love as a ray of light to a bright body.

It gives of itself according to the ardor
it finds, so that as charity spreads farther
the eternal good increases upon it,

and the more souls there are who love, up there,
the more there are to love well, and the more love
they reflect to each other, as in a mirror.
