520 |a In the closing canto of the Purgatorio in his Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri describes the souls preparing to enter heaven as "new, remade, reborn, … perfect, pure, and ready for the Stars [i.e., heaven]." But what exactly would it mean for a human soul to be morally perfect and in perfect union with the divine will?
