Jan 23rd: Opening Canto 14, Beatrice returns and passes on Questions

Today we’re looking at the first six tercets of Canto 14 in Paradiso, when the movement is changing from words from the 24 souls into the center, and then to Beatrice speaking from the center out to the 24 souls.

She (partly as you inner spiritual life) anticipates questions from the Pilgrim even before he has thought of them, and conveys them to the two circle of souls (the spiritual and rational-intellectual faculties): is the spiritual light of the blessed souls eternal, and will that not be “too strong” when they are re-materialized/resurrected in the future?

Enjoy!
