About this work

Author: Unknown

XXIX. Then the Lord, seeing the prayer

‹ Section 28 Section 30 ›

of

the

saints

,

had

compassion

and

said

:

Go

down

,

my

beloved

son

,

and

because

of

the

prayer

of

the

saints

let

thy

face

shine

on

earth

to

sinners

.

Then

the

Lord

came

down

from

his

undefiled

throne

:

and

when

they

saw

Him

,

those

who

were

under

chastisement

raised

one

voice

saying

:

Have

mercy

on

us

,

King

of

ages

.

Then

the

Lord

of

all

things

said

:

Hearken

,

all

ye

sinners

and

righteous

men

:

I

made

paradise

and

made

man

after

my

image

:

but

he

transgressed

,

and

for

his

own

sins

was

delivered

to

death

:

but

I

did

not

suffer

the

works

of

my

hands

to

be

tyrannized

over

by

the

serpent

:

wherefore

I

bowed

the

heavens

and

came

down

and

was

born

of

Mary

,

the

holy

undefiled

Mother

of

God

,

that

I

might

set

you

free

:

I

was

baptised

in

Jordan

in

order

that

I

might

save

the

creature

(

nature

)

which

had

grown

old

under

sin

:

I

was

nailed

to

the

cross

to

free

you

from

the

ancient

curse

:

I

asked

for

water

and

ye

gave

me

vinegar

mingled

with

gall

:

I

was

laid

in

the

grave

:

I

trampled

on

the

enemy

:

I

raised

up

mine

elect

,

and

even

thus

ye

would

not

hear

me

.

But

now

,

because

of

the

prayer

of

my

mother

Mary

,

because

she

has

wept

much

for

your

sake

,

and

because

of

Michael

my

archangel

,

and

because

of

the

multitude

of

my

saints

,

I

grant

you

to

have

rest

on

the

day

of

Pentecost

to

glorify

the

Father

and

the

Son

and

the

Holy

Spirit

.
