The Human Soul
“Do not, best beloved, consider lightly
the intellective value of the soul.
The human soul, immortal-of itself
a precious vessel-has obtained
the God’s inestimable love. Witness
the glory of the heavens and the earth,
and know that God took little pleasure
in them, preferring you. And note
your worth to Him, considering
how-not for the sake of angels,
but for you-He came to your assistance,
called you back when you were lost,
when you were wounded, ill, and how
He then restored you to your first, created
State-as righteous Eve and Adam savoring
the garden, unencumbered, unimpaired, free
of mark or stain.”
( Love’s Immensity by Scott Cairns, pg.29)
