end

,

for

we

have

no

torment

nor

disease

nor

pain

in

our

bodies

,

nor

exhaustion

nor

weakness

,

but

peace

and

great

patience

and

love

.

For

our

soul

is

not

troubled

by

the

angels

to

go

forth

,

for

the

angels

rejoice

when

they

receive

our

souls

,

and

the

souls

also

rejoice

with

the

angels

when

they

behold

them

;

as

a

bride

receives

the

bridegroom

,

so

our

soul

receives

the

announcement

of

the

holy

angels

,

saying

nothing

more

than

only

this

,

The

Lord

calls

thee

.

Then

the

soul

quits

the

body

and

goes

to

the

angels

,

and

the

angels

seeing

the

soul

coming

forth

spotless

rejoice

,

and

spreading

out

their

robes

receive

it

.

Then

the

angels

call

it

blessed

,

saying

,

Blessed

art

then

,

O

soul

,

because

the

will

of

the

Lord

is

fulfilled

in

thee

.
