31. God does not call someone into His service after He blinded him. I, however, had to become blind before, so that I would lose everything that is of the world, before I could become one of His lowest servants.

32. But why was I to be blind first? Because my whole being was buried in the matter of the service of the temple, and it had to be taken away from it in this manner.

33. Since the Lord called upon me in my blindness without ceremony, how could I ever have made a ceremony out of the Last Supper?.
