er all things.

O Thou Mother of the Remembrance! May the peace and salutation of God rest
upon thee. Indeed thou hast endured patiently in Him Who is the sublime
Self of God. Recognize then the station of thy Son Who is none other than
the mighty Word of God. He hath verily pledged Himself to be answerable
