sharing in the joy

"Each saint in heaven rejoices over the glorification of the other... To use an example: See, we are standing together, and I have a rose in my hand. The rose is mine, and yet you no less than I rejoice in its beauty and its perfume. So shall it be in eternal life. My glory shall be your consolation and exultation, and yours shall be mine."
