"The Happiness of Heaven-By a Father of the Society of Jesus" is a classic religious studies text by F. J. Boudreaux. Many books, owing to their special character, are designed for only a small circle of readers. But topics involving general and vital interests deservedly claim the attention of all persons. Such is the subject of the present work--"The Happiness of Heaven." For who is he that, believing in the existence of that blessed abode, does not hope eventually to arrive there? What sublime descriptions do not the Holy Scriptures give us of the blessed City of God! Her wails are built of jasper-stone; but the City itself is of pure and shining gold, like to clear crystal glass. And the foundations of the City are adorned with all manner of precious stones. Her gates are pearls. The very streets are transparent as glass. This glorious City has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in her; for the glory of God is her light.
