When the living Father perceived that
the soul was in tribulation in the body, He sent his own Son for its salvation.
Then He came and prepared the work which was to effect the salvation of
souls, and with that object prepared an instrument with twelve urns, which
is made up to revolve with the sphere, and draws up with it the souls of
the dying. And the greater luminary receives those souls and purifies them
with its rays, and then passes them over to the moon, and in this manner
the moon's disc, as it is designated by us, is filled up.
