“The Seraph”

“Toro and Innocente were now stunned to see a six-winged seraph directly in front of the middle tree. He must have stood twenty feet high. Fiery golden was his form, and one of his three pairs of wings spread out to enwrap the other two trees. The seraph had the qualities of fire: heat, clarity, and brightness. Even from a distance the friends could feel the hot radiance of the angel. And they could see right through his form, as though it were, indeed, made of fire. And the brilliance of the divine being made it hard to gaze upon him for more than a few seconds at a time. The seraph spread around him a tangible sense of holiness. One’s thoughts were immediately purified on seeing this marvelous being. He drew one’s soul upward toward God and served as a visible example of divine purity. The friends bowed their heads respectfully before the seraph. When once they lifted them, he had disappeared.”
