Blessed are ye for attaining to that which was the
greatest hope of Mary the Magdalene and Mary the
mother of Jacob! This gift was shining on the face of
the Virgin Mary like unto a brilliant gem glistening on
the great crown of glory.

Happy are ye for this favor, the likeness of which
was not seen by the eye of existence, not its similitude
heard by the ears of the creatures; because it is the
greatest favor on the part of the Lord of the Kingdoms
in the world of existence; that is, the greatest guidance,
the attainment unto the day of the Lord and listening
unto the call of God. How blessed is this great
favor!

O ye maid-servants of God! All the palaces shall
be destroyed and become like graves, buried beneath
the ground, but god, through His mighty hand, will
build for ye solid palaces in His Kingdom which will
not be destroyed forever and evermore; nay, rather its
foundation will be strengthened in the course of ages
and centuries.

Therefore, call in His Name, spread the fragrances
of God, guide unto the path of God and cause souls
to enter the Kingdom of God!
