839. Such are those who love only a general sanctity. In the other life they sing "Holy", until at length all perception of sanctity perishes, so that afterwards nothing of life remains except the mere word, in which they still place piety; they thus worship what is dead. It is the same with those who place piety in prayers and supplications, even though the mind is far away; these also are like them to some extent.
