¶ 1045
For man, this consummation will be the Final realization of the Unity of the human race, which God Willed from Creation and of which the pilgrim Church has been "in the nature of Sacrament." 634 Those who are United with Christ will form the Community of the redeemed, "the holy city" of God, "the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." 635 She will not be wounded any longer by Sin, stains, self-Love, that destroy or wound the Earthly community. 636 The beatific vision, in which God opens himself in an inexhaustible way to the elect, will be the ever-flowing well-spring of happiness, Peace, and mutual Communion.
