CCC 2519

The "pure in heart" are promised that they will see God face to face and be like him.³¹¹ Cf. 1 Cor 13:12; 1 Jn 3:2. Purity of heart is the precondition of the vision of God. Even now it enables us to see according to God, to accept others as "neighbors"; it lets us perceive the human body - ours and our neighbor's - as a temple of the Holy Spirit, a manifestation of divine beauty.
