27 Αλλ' εαν δεν μου υπακουσητε, ωστε να αγιαζητε την ημεραν του σαββατου και να μη βασταζητε φορτιον και εμβιβαζητε εις τας πυλας της Ιερουσαλημ την ημεραν του σαββατου, τοτε θελω αναψει πυρ εν ταις πυλαις αυτης και θελει καταφαγει τα παλατια της Ιερουσαλημ και δεν θελει σβεσθη.

285. There are two things at the heart of heaven, innocence and peace. We say that they are at the heart because they come straight from the Lord. From innocence comes everything good about heaven and from peace comes all the delight of that good. Everything good has its own delight, and both - the good and the delight - are matters of love. This is because what is loved is what is called good and also is perceived as delightful. It follows from this that these two inmost qualities, innocence and peace, emanate from the Lord's divine love and move angels to their very core.

In the previous chapter on the state of innocence of heaven's angels, it was shown that innocence is the very heart of good. Now I need to explain that peace is the very heart of the delight that comes from the goodness of innocence.
