L. Animae Sanctorum corpora sua desiderant.
L. Animae Sanctorum corpora sua desiderant.
Their voices are like the sound of many waters, for in their praises they are united in one voice and one spiritual will, just as the waters of salvation sound, and they say that the bodies, according to the will of God, once had, which although they have turned to ashes, still desire to receive them, so that they may rejoice all the more with them.
Read the original Latin
Et voces eorum sunt ut sonus aquarum multarum, quoniam in laudibus suis in unanimitate unius soni, et unius voluntatis spiritali spiramine, ut aquae salutis sonant, et dicunt quod corpora secundum voluntatem Dei dudum habuissent, quae quamvis in cinerem versa sint, ea tamen recipere desiderant, ut tanto plus cum iliis gaudeant.
