Body, soul, and divinity

"'the dead ashes of the bodies of the saints derive their principal dignity from that seed of life which they retain from the touch of the immortal and vivifying flesh of Jesus Christ'".

"'les cendres mortes des corps des saints tirent leur principale dignité de cette semence de vie qui leur reste de l’attouchement de la chair immortelle et vivifiante de Jésus-Christ'".
