You see, beloved, how great and wonderful love is, and there is no explaining its perfection.

Who is capable of being found in it except those whom God considers worthy? Therefore let us pray and ask from His mercy that we may be found in love, blameless and without human partisanship.

All the generations from Adam to this day have passed away, but those who were perfected in love according to the grace of God have a place among the godly, and they will be revealed at the visitation of the kingdom of Christ.

For it is written: “Enter your chambers for a very little while, until My wrath and anger pass away. Then I will remember a good day and raise you from your resting places.”

Blessed are we, beloved, if we carry out the commands of God in the harmony of love, so that through love our sins may be forgiven.

For it is written: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not count against him, and in whose mouth there is no deceit.”

This blessing came upon those chosen by God through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
