About this listen

In today’s reading, Dante, enraptured by this vision of heaven, turns to express his wonder to Beatrice, only to find that she has gone, translated higher up into the Divine Rose, with her place taken by Saint Bernard (1090-1153). However, rather than bewail her loss as he did the loss of Vergil almost thirty cantos ago, Dante offers up to her a prayer of gratitude, for which he receives one of her radiant smiles. How far we’ve come since Purgatory!
