ABSTRACT
This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter VIII of Ada Reis, Volume III. Whilst hardened victims were suffering the punishment of their crimes, impenitence, and want of faith, Fiormonda was borne away by the good spirit, through all the terrors and dangers of that mysterious gulf which separates the living from the dead. In the course of time a pious missionary, who chanced to pass near her humble dwelling, hearing of her great piety, called upon her to be baptized, and converted her to the true faith: then, with tears of gratitude, she blessed the mercy of her Redeemer, and prayed the heart’s prayer of the penitent. Her sole object, with respect to others, was to do good; and, for herself, her sole employment was to repent her past offences, and to amend her life.
