Cabe ainda notar que esse ponto é que torna justamente a santa mais adorável, sem prejuízo ( ao contrário!) da parte humana e terrestre que havia nela. Basta de prefácio ao capítulo; vamos ao capítulo.

It remains still to note that that point is precisely what makes the saint more adorable, without detriment (to the contrary!) of the human and earthly part that was in her. Enough of preface to the chapter; let's go to the chapter.
