Cando Lucis Aeternae (Apostolic Letter on Dante's 700th anniversary) -- excerpt [by Pope Francis published 2022]
Dante today -- if we can presume to speak for
him -- does not wish merely to be read, commented
on, studied, and analyzed. Rather, he asks to be
heard and even imitated; he invites us to become
his companions on the journey. Today, too, he
wants to show us the route to happiness, the right
path to live a fully human life, emerging from the
dark forest in which we lose our beainrgs and the
sense of our true worth. Dante's journey and his
vision of life beyond death are not just a story to be
told; they are more than the account of a personal
experience, however exceptional. . . A message that
can and should make us appreciate fully who we are
and the meaning of our daily struggles to achieve
happiness, fulfilment and our ultimate end, our true
homeland, where we will be in full communion with
God, infinite and eternal Love.

Canto III - Paradiso (Dante Aligheri : transl. Allen Mandelbaum) paperback edition 1986
Page 25, Lines 79 - 96
The essence of this blessed life consists
in keeping to the boundaries of God's will,
through which our wills become one single will;
so that, as we are ranged from step to step
throughout this kingdom, all this kingdom wills
that which will please the King whose will is rule.
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.
Then it was clear to me how every place
in Heaven is in Paradise, though grace
does not rain equally from the High Good.
But just as, when our hunger has been sated
with one food, we still long to taste the other --
while thankful for the first, we crave the latter --
so was I in my words and in my gestures,
asking to learn from her (Beatrice) what was the web
of which her shuttle had not reached the end.
