Never is the use of
one angel quite the same as that of another; nor the delight. What is
more, the delights of any one person's use are countless. These
countless and various delights are nevertheless united in an order so
that they mutually regard one another, as do the uses of every member,
organ and inner part of the body. They are even more like the uses of
each vessel and fibre in every member, organ and vital part; each and
all of which are so related that they regard each of its own good in
the other, and thus in all, and all in each. As a result of this
general and several regard they act as one.

OUR CHILDREN IN HEAVEN
Every little child, wheresoever born, whether within the Church or out
of it, whether of pious parents or of impious, is received by the Lord
at death; is educated in heaven; is taught and imbued with affections
of good and by these with knowledges of truth; and then, as he is
perfected in intelligence and wisdom, is introduced into heaven and
becomes an angel.
When children die, they are still children in the other life.
