Whether God is the beatitude of each of the blessed?

❌ Objection 1 : It seems that God is the beatitude of each of the blessed. For God is the supreme good, as was said above (Question [6], Articles [2],4). But it is quite impossible that there should be many supreme goods, as also is clear from what has been said above (Question [11], Article [3]). Therefore, since it is of the essence of beatitude that it should be the supreme good, it seems that beatitude is nothing else but God Himself.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, beatitude is the last end of the rational nature. But to be the last end of the rational nature belongs only to God. Therefore the beatitude of every blessed is God alone.
