“In his will is our peace.”
― Dante, The Divine Comedy, Paradise
following quote from
https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/dante/divine-comedy/paradiso/paradiso-3/
The pilgrim’s question gives Piccarda the opportunity to explain that heaven is a place where one’s desire is always satisfied, where desire cannot possibly exceed the measure of what one has, and where it is always aligned with the will of the transcendent power. In other words, the souls of paradise are completely happy with the grace that is apportioned to them:
E ’n la sua volontade è nostra pace:
ell’è quel mare al qual tutto si move
ciò ch’ella cria o che natura face.
(Par. 3.85-87)
And in His will there is our peace: that sea
to which all beings move—the beings He
creates or nature makes—such is His will.
