«Sereis como anjos». Angeologia e escatologia»

In this article, we offer a reflection on the eschatological valence of angeology. Angels are the symbol of consummate sociability in eternal life, of the communal greatness of Heaven, of the beauty of life eternally celebrated in praise and worship, of the luminous face of the person in his relational fullness (personal glorious body in the glorious body of Christ). They are, by excellence, the typification of the eschatological language marked by the symbol and the metaphor, by the indication of a reality other than the reference to the known and the experienceable.
