ceased to be, and everything of the world which was made for the man. But the Father’ s compassion was great, and it made You come down in me, and out of me You came down among the people, and You came down from the people, for I was among the people like a ladder of Your coming down from heaven on earth. You made just one single step from heaven to earth: from Father in me and from me on the earth, but the man, Son, hardly comes to be with You. You became such an easy way for the man who wants to be in heaven, and with the heaven on the earth, and with You, Son, on earth and in heaven. Oh, You are the way, and You are not hidden, but no one sees Your way anymore, and no one sees You anymore, eternal Son, for those who see have Your eye, and You are the eye of those who see.
The man has to make one single step up to heaven: from him in You and from You in heaven, as You made Your step towards the hidden man, for the fallen one is the hidden one, and the hidden one is the fallen one. You are the Man that came down from heaven and the first fruit for the birth of the new man, for it is written: « no one ascended in heaven but only the One Who descended from heaven to take the man in heaven », and to be fulfilled Your word that You spoke about, that « the one who is not born from above cannot enter the kingdom of the heavens ». You came from above, from heaven, so that the man may be born of You, and how humbly You spoke to the one whom You said: « He who is not born from above cannot be from above ». You were the One Who came from above, so that the men may have the heaven close to them and to be born from above, from heaven, from You, heavenly Son, Son born from heaven on the earth.
It is the feast of Your birth into the middle of Your people and it is the feast of my glory, for the entire heaven glorifies me, as the one who gave birth to God among the people, according to the word of the prophecies of the heaven. Oh, heavenly Son, born of me, You took the earth into Your hands after You made the heaven and the earth, and You looked at Yourself and made Your image out of the earth and gave it Your likeness, and then You also gave him spirit of Your Spirit, and out of the image made by You from the earth, You made a living being, the breathing spirit of Your Spirit upon him and in him, and You called him man in Your image and after Your likeness; and then You took a handful of flesh from his body deified by You by Your spirit and living breath, and made the woman to be a helper for the man, and out of the womenfolk You took me to be Your helper now, when You came down to the people, in order to take them back into heaven, as the man is Your work from the beginning. Who can understand what that word of Yours is, when You said to make a suitable helper for the man? The woman was supposed to help the man for his ascending back into heaven, into Eden, into God’ s kingdom, at the fullness of the time of the kingdom of God, and I, dear Son, have fulfilled that word of Yours, and I was a suitable helper for You, for the salvation of the lost man from Your kingdom, from his kingdom, and for You to give him back the kingdom and to be king, and to be, for a king is only the one who is.
Adam gave names to all the living creatures with a breath of life in them, but he did not find a suitable helper for himself, for later, the man who came out of the man brought the animals as a reconciliation sacrifice before You, but the man did not get up from his fall, as this help through sacrificed animals was not suitable for him, and his help came through the woman, as Your word was, Son, God and Word, You, Who work in the end as in the beginning. And You came, the symbol of the new man, the One born in heaven and born from heaven by the Virgin. You came, my Son and Bridegroom, and You left Your Father and joined with me and were in my body. You became one flesh with me, so that You might come out as the new first fruit and the beginning of the new man, a born man not a created man, to redeem those that are not born, born of the two men, Adam and his woman, and to come with the man to Your first work, on which You bestowed the man as king.
