Would it be possible to get on the same level of beatific vision in Heaven as Mary?

[Nanotwerp]

Me, born with original sin, unlike Mary? Is this possible, or am I destined to the lower levels? Can you possibly get on Mary’s level of theosis? When you’re already in heaven, is it possible to attain higher levels as a byproduct of helping those still on earth?

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that we are somehow getting a lesser deal in heaven because we’re not as good as the Virgin Mary or a famous canonized Saint.
Once you attain heaven, you will live in eternal bliss. You will not be the least concerned about who has achieved “whatever level” in heaven.
Heaven IS. It’s a place of profound happiness and peace. We will be with God.

Heaven is nothing like corporate America!!!

God made each of us unique. No doubt the relationship between you and God will also be unique.

Exactly as everyone said. You’ll get as God gives, and God gives in abundance. You’ll be eternally happy, enjoying the company of God and His angels, His Blessed Mother, and His Saints.

Perhaps its just a basic “competetive nature” that stands out stronger in some folks or maybe a desire to keep on achieving. Whatever the case the question has been well answered.

Our Lord did imply that there are degrees of glory in heaven. However, you’re right, once we get there, even if we attained the least degree of glory, we’re still in that glory, in the Beatific Vision, and we will be perfectly happy. Don’t know how we get degrees of perfect, but if the Lord said it, it’s got to be true.
