| I strengthened thee with the Holy Spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. |
| And yet Thou didst accept to humble Thyself and become man for our salvation. |
| By Thy cruel Passion and Death, Thou didst open for us the gates of heaven. |
| There didst thou bury them that we might not be able to keep watch over them. |
| Why didst thou grant them exemption until those who told the truth were seen by thee in a clear light, and thou hadst proved the liars? |
| Thou didst hesitate, sayst thou, before confiding to me the discovery thou hadst made. |
