Take
care above all things, most honored lady, not to insult God's
boundless loving kindness; you would certainly do this if you mourned
as dead one living face to face with God, one whose prayers can bring
you in your troubles more powerful aid than they ever could on earth.
And our parting will not be for long; we shall see each other again
in heaven; we shall be united with our Savior; there we shall praise
him with heart and soul, sing of his mercies for ever, and enjoy
eternal happiness.
