The level of everyone on the heaven is equal or not? If there are many classes, so how to divide. In earth, there are the rich and the poor, and normally the rich is at higher class. But how about on the heaven where we can come after we died and What God will do to divide class. I think He will make that thing depend on our glory. And I think our glory is created by love. The more we love the more glory we have.

Social class doesn’t survive into the afterlife. It is a result of families stacking up wealth, but it doesn’t go through death. Everybody at the end after all, is equally dead.

Our LORD after all, died naked and bloody. And the Virgin Mary has been described as “the poorest woman who ever lived” by some theologians . Yet nobody has a higher Heavenly status.

There is status in Heaven, but holiness of life determines it.

Higher heavenly status is also a class in some way or a class of afterlife. How does God manage everyone without classes. Even if there are many kinds of angles, among the leader like Micae.
 
St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori told a story shared with him by a superior of the Jesuit order about a different superior who appeared to him after his death and gave a detailed report about what sort of treatment different people could expect in heaven. According to the departed superior, the rewards of heaven are not equal for all who enter, but all who enter are equally satisfied:

“Now I am in heaven; Philip II, king of Spain, is in heaven as well. We both are enjoying the eternal rewards of paradise, but they are very different for us. My happiness is much greater than his, for it is not like when we were still on earth, for then he was royalty and I was a commoner. We were as far apart as the earth and sky, but now it has been reversed: As lowly as I was compared to the king on earth, I now exceed him in glory in heaven. However, we are both happy, and our hearts are completely satisfied.”

So, some of us enter heaven with our teeny tiny little shot glasses, and the great saints have their Big Gulps. All of us will have our cups full— but the great saints’ capacity for happiness in the presence of God is far greater than that of an ordinary person who didn’t cooperate with God’s will as much when they were on earth.
 
Thank you for your paraphrase. What you wrote is similar what I thought and your example make me understand more about heaven. Are you a priest, midori?
