No tiene nada que ver con cuerpos resucitados que aparecen y desaparecen o que finalmente abandonan este mundo en una ascensión celestial.

• Salve, Santo Día! la bendición de lo alto
  ilumina tu presencia como una sonrisa de amor,
  Suaviza, como aceite sobre un mar tempestuoso,
  las olas más agitadas del destino humano
  Animando a los buenos, y a los pobres oprimidos
  Llevando la promesa de su descanso celestial.

  Of men's affections, more than all their swords!

• The heart itself is only a small vessel,
  yet dragons are there, and lions,
  there are poisonous beasts,
  and all the treasures of evil,
  there are rough and uneven roads,
  there are precipes;
  but there too is God and the angels,
  life is there, and the Kingdom,
  there too is light, and there the apostles
  and heavenly cities,
  and treasures of grace.
  All things lie within that little space.

  Macario de Egipto
