Meaning

At the end of Book Eight, sacramental creatures return to their first matter and are clarificabuntur, rendered “glorified.” The surrounding eternal joy and praise of God determine the theological sense. Translating it as simple physical clarification would miss the contrast with the elemental things’ destiny and the eschatological conclusion of the book’s broad separation theme.
