Therefore, my child, strive for righteousness unto
death, and arm yourself with the armor of God.
Be a pious Israelite, trample under foot all unrighteousness,
the world and all that is in it, and love
only that which is above. 1 John 2:15. Remember,
that you are not of this world, even as your Lord
and Master was not. John 15:19. Be a faithful disciple
of Christ; for none is fit to pray, unless he has
become his disciple, and not before. Col. 1:7; John
9:31. Those who said: “We have left all,” also
438
said: “Teach us to pray.” Luke 18:28; 11:1. They
were those for whom the Lord prayed, and not the
world (John 17:9); for when the world prays, they
call upon their father, the Devil, and desire that his
will be done, as is also the case. Therefore, my
son, do not become like them, but shun and flee
them, and have neither part nor fellowship with
them. Rom. 12:2; 2 Pet. 1:4. Do not regard that
which is before your eyes, but seek only those
things which are above. Col. 3:1. O my child, be
mindful of my admonition, and forsake it not. May
the Lord cause you to grow up in his fear, and fill
your understanding with his Spirit. 2 Peter 3:18.
Sanctify yourself to the Lord, my son; sanctify your
whole conduct in the fear of your God. Lev. 20:7.
Whatever you do, do it all to the praise of his
name. Honor the Lord in the works of your hands,
and let the light of the Gospel shine through you.
Love your neighbor. Deal with an open, warm
heart thy bread to the hungry, clothe the naked,
and suffer not to have anything twofold; for there
are always some who lack. Matt. 26:11. Whatever
the Lord grants you from the sweat of your face,
above what you need, communicate to those of
whom you know that they love the Lord (Genesis
3:19; Ps. 112:9); and suffer nothing to remain
in your possession until the morrow, and the Lord
shall bless the work of your hands, and give you
his blessing for an inheritance. Deut. 28:12. O my
son, let your life be conformed to the Gospel, and
the God of peace, sanctify your soul and body, to
his praise. Amen. Phil. 1:27; 1 Thess. 5:23.

O holy Father, sanctify the son of thy handmaiden
in thy truth, and keep him from the evil,
for thy name’s sake, O Lord.

Thereupon she sealed this with her blood, and
thus, as a pious heroine and follower of Jesus Christ,
she was received among the number of the witnesses
of God who were offered up.
