their own will, they add the irreparable evil of gambling away the royal

garment of My Will a garment that cannot be substituted with any other

inside a Sun, and with His holy hands He held me still within that light,
which was such that, as it covered me completely, inside and out, I

could not see, nor was I able to see anything but light.
