The topic "The Concept of Soul" is related to some of the themes, which are always present in poetry. We will, therefore, focus on Agora e na hora da nossa morte by José Agostinho Baptista. The mourning color of the cover of the book referring to the "now" and the "hour", directs us to a reading strategy that the dedication "To my father. In his memory" confirms. The words of the title 'copy' our prayer "Pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen". To each word and/or ensemble of expressions that are taken from the prayer, there corresponds a poem in the collection. We will go back to the 16th century and make some references to Saint Teresa of Ávila.
