The
opposition of the addresses of the damned and the blessed soul serve as
a reminder of the separation of the sinners and the righteous on Judgement
Day, a distinction which is explicitly named by the blessed soul later
on: 'on that famous day when the sinful are separated from the righteous.' The
blessed soul comes from 'my father's kingdom, dressed in splendour, wrapped
in grace' |

This time,
the soul takes part in the body's speech at judgement: 'We will have no
need to be worried at the Lord's coming, or have anxiety and mental distress
over our answer, but there at the judgement we will be able in person
to speak with pride of our deeds, and of what the two of us have deserved.' Even though
the soul now enjoys bliss and happiness, the body is still devoured by
worms. But this fact is smoothed in the speech of the blessed soul. The
soul immediately begins to describe the happiness awaiting both after
judgement: 'After that the pair of us will be able to enjoy together whatever
honours you destined us to here before, and be of high distinction in
heaven.' |
