Pirulito rezava, pedia a Deus que voltasse a ser suprema bondade, não fosse suprema justiça.

Pirulito avança. Vê o inferno, o castigo de Deus, suas mãos e sua cabeça a arder uma vida que nunca acaba. Mas sacode o corpo como que jogando longe a visão, recebe o Menino que a Virgem lhe entrega, o encosta ao peito e desaparece na rua.

Paul's point is not simply that God is now my Father and I am now His son. God, in Jesus' great work of redemption, was not establishing a series of isolated personal relationships with His individual followers. He was creating a family of sons and daughters—siblings—who are now "all one in Christ Jesus" (v. 28). The saving work of Christ therefore has a corporate, as well as an individual, dimension. For Paul, the church is a family.
