"It shall be even as thou sayest, and I will fulfil
for thee all thy petition”.

“Did I not become man through thee” ?

“I swear by Myself that I will not break My Covenant with thee".

“Salutation unto thee, O Book of the Law and the
Covenant like unto the Tables of stone, For each and every one who shall call upon thy name”!

THE COVENANT OF MERCY
[Version II. A.Fol. ib, i.]


One day our Lord Jesus Christ said unto Mary,

"What sorrow can be greater than that which came
upon thee for My sake"?

And our Lady Mary said unto Him,

"O my Lord and God, there were Five Sorrows that came upon me for Thy sake, and they overcame me mightily”.

“The first of them was that which came upon me when
Simeon prophesied concerning Thee in the Sanctuary,
saying that the Jews would slay Thee”.

“The second was the sorrow I endured when I lost Thee in the Sanctuary, and I was seeking for Thee for three days”.

“The third was the sorrow I endured when I remembered
how they had bound Thee hand and foot, and how
Pilate's men scourged Thy back”.

“The fourth was the sorrow I endured when they crucified Thee between two thieves on the day of the Eve of the Sabbath, and Thou wast naked, and they drove five nails through Thy flesh”.

“The fifth sorrow I endured when I remembered how Joseph and Nicodemus took Thee down from the Cross, and swathed Thee in fine linen, and laid Thee in the tomb."

And our Lord said unto her who had given Him
birth,

"Thus saith our Father Who is in heaven:

“Whosoever shall keep in remembrance the sorrows and
sufferings which have come upon thee for My sake, and
the salutation of Gabriel, I will remit to him his sins”.

“And whosoever shall give an offering for thy name's
sake I will remit to him his sins, and I will make him to inherit the kingdom of heaven”.

“And I will come unto him with thee, O thou who didst give Me birth, and I will appear to him three days before his death".
This was the Covenant which Christ made with His
mother, and she told it unto Dexius, who wrote it down, together with her Miracles, so that [all] believers might read it.
May her prayer and blessing be with us for ever and ever.
What sorrow can be greater than the sorrows that
came upon thee, O Virgin Maryam?

For thou didst utter a cry when He cried unto thee
a cry On the Eve of the Sabbath, the day upon which He was on the holy wood, the Cross.

By the Five Sorrows, O deliver me from perdition,
And from the mighty terror of the terrible Sheol.
