8949. In worship they are extremely humble; for in it they do not consider themselves to be anything at all. They worship our Lord, acknowledging Him as the one and only God. For the Lord sometimes appears to those who are on that planet in the form of an angel, and so as a human being; and at such times the Divine shines from His face and stirs their minds. When they reach the appropriate age inhabitants of the planet also talk to spirits, who teach them about the Lord, the way to worship Him, and the way to live.
