The Maronite Church teaches that the redeemed will enjoy eternal life in the presence of God—the beatific vision—after the general resurrection and Last Judgment. Heaven is the fullness of communion with the Trinity, in which the whole person (soul and glorified body) participates in divine life and joy without end. The saints who are already with God intercede for those still on earth.

Maronite spirituality has a deeply communal dimension: the Church is understood as one family whose bonds extend beyond death. Devotion to the saints and prayer for the deceased are integral parts of Maronite piety. St. Sharbel Makhluf (1828–1898), the Lebanese hermit-monk canonized in 1977, is the most beloved Maronite saint and exemplifies the tradition's spirituality of radical union with God.
