Question:
What is man’s purpose in God’s eternity after death?
Answer:
The short answer is provided in the response to the question “Why Did God Make You?” in the old Baltimore Catechism: “God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.”
So our purpose in heaven to live in eternal beatitude with God and the angels and the saints. For more on this subject, see CCC 1023ff. See also Tim Staples’ article “What Is Heaven?”
