Contemplativam vitam significat, quam sancti reges omnibus operum divitiis et gemmis virtutum præferunt et in eam maxime aspectus suos dirigunt, et tanto amplius, quanto frequentius divina illustrantur gratia. Ex interna charitate color aureus, ex dulcedine contemplationis æthereus, quæ ex attritu sæculi semper obscurascit, vix enim potest quis simul doloribus attingi, et tranquilla mente cœli gaudia intueri.

Section 21:9–22:5: An angel showed the new Jerusalem to John

In this section, an angel showed the new Jerusalem to John. The angel again used a metaphor of a bride to describe new Jerusalem. The city was large and beautiful. God lived there with his people.

Other examples for this section heading are:

The vision of the new Jerusalem

John saw/described the new Jerusalem as a bride for the Lamb
