"O maid-servant of God!..."
| |
1 |
O maid-servant of God!
| |
2 |
I am in the blessed place of the Holy Land and thou
art in foreign parts and I do not see thee with my material
eyes, but I see thee with the eyes of my heart and
I remember thee in recalling to thee that which the
Christ promised to the believers, the great blessing and
favor, the light of which illuminates those present and
those absent.

3 |
O maid-servant of God! Be thou rejoiced because
of this good news which draws (inclines) the sanctified
hearts from all wordly conditions and know thou the
value of this great gift (favor) and do not exchange
it for the great sovereignty (of the world), for, verily,
the sovereignty of the world is a mortal rule and follows
pride. However, this gift is an eternal and a
divine favor, the light of which illumines the passing
of times and periods.
