Epilogue
Here, my friends, my children, my brothers, I have delivered to you my memories of the life of this great and astonishing man. I say to you that, in beginning the drafting of these memories, I was afraid that death would not enable me to lead them to their conclusion. Today, I am reassured, and perhaps, also, if God lends me life, I could teach you still more from the things of Christos, and on what became of his apostles.
Remember especially his message… live as he lived because he is an example to be followed. He himself said it to me several times: “That all the men and the women follow the way which I showed, and God will reward the righteous ones when He gives His judgment.”
I would have such an amount of things to say, of stories to tell, on Christos, on his words, his proverbs, his allegories. I would transcribe them one day, if I find time and the strength for it… but, alas, life passes like a shooting star, and time so quickly leads us to old age that we do not realize it at all.
Thus, I will say that I have occupied my existence to transmit the good news to all the cities, all the republics, all the Empires. I traveled, I studied, I met, I prayed, and I attempted, as much as possible, to fill my days with love and friendship, virtue, and forgiveness. That has been the key to my happiness.
Do I deserve Paradise? I do not know, because only The Most High can decide that. In all events, my terrestrial life was beautiful and marvelous and I thank each day the Eternal for having given me a soul.
These, my writings, are for you a will, my friends! This is what you will inherit from me and which I give to you as a good-bye. Take them in care and share with the others, reveal it, spread it everywhere where you will be able.
Ah! I do not wish to finish and to leave you there, because I cannot be resolved to tear myself from this soft, mystical environment which hugs me close each time I remind myself of my youth… but now my eyes are tired, the wavering gleam of my candle is not enough anymore to light my parchment… my quill falls often from my pained fingers…
And the night invades my cell, leaving me alone, pensive, bathed in the soft clear light of the moon.
Samoht, 87 after Christos. |
