in general , if you try to give a miserable ransom , even by building a church , but dont repent for what you have perpetrated and wont make peace with your conscience , then all your recompenses will be senseless and foolish , because god is more interested in the cultivation of your soul , that is , of his own particle , than in recompenses in the form of material goods that were created by his own will for the cultivation and trial of human souls .
