We are, and must be, one and all, burdened with faults in this world: but the time will soon come when, I trust, we shall put them off in putting off our corruptible bodies; when debasement and sin will fall from us with this cumbrous frame of flesh, and only the spark of the spirit will remain,--the impalpable principle of light and thought, pure as when it left the Creator to inspire the creature: whence it came it will return; perhaps again to be communicated to some being higher than man--perhaps to pass through gradations of glory, from the pale human soul to brighten to the seraph!
Es verdad que no hay que aguantar muchas cosas en este mundo, pero debemos pensar en el momento en que nuestro espíritu se desprenda de nuestro cuerpo y vuelva a Dios, que lo ha creado. Y entonces nuestra alma debe estar pura, porque ¿quién sabe si no será llamada a infundirse en un ser muy superior al hombre, en un ser celestial?
