anima bella

Da Italiano a Inglese Altro Religione apparitions
Priest's account of an apparition: Nessun’anima bella o santa che sia, può essere al centro dell’attenzione; nella Chiesa sarà senza dubbio come una finestra, che il Sole Divino ha trovato aperta e docile, per far entrare quella particolare Luce, ma essa non è il Sole.
