Let us remember that if the body does feel a burden now (as it must at moments), what a happiness it is to have a body at all: how lonely, cold, barren, would it be to be a |disembodied spirit.| As St. Paul says, |Not that we desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon| -- to have a spiritual, deathless, griefless life instilled into the body.
