Manicheusok VI. ( The Psalms to Jesus X. ) ~ ἀκάνθινον στέφανον

 "Ezért, harcos, futásodat el kell végezned."

"Élete a háborúban fáradságos, a békében ragyogó. Nemes ajándék a koszorú annak, aki helyesen fáradozva szépen élt, valamint az, hogy a király barátjának nevezi, mellette áll, jobbját nyújtja, (...)" ( Nagy Szent Vazul, Aszketikus vázlat, A kappadókiai atyák, 209 )

Christ, my bridegroom, has taken me to his bridechamber,
I have rested with him in the land) of the immortal. My brethren,
I have received my garland.

My land I have beheld, my Fathers I have found, the godly
have rejoiced over me, my Aeons have welcomed me.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

There is a gain, my brethren, none shall be able to take it from me:
an imperishable treasure, to which thieves find not the way.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

I am like a sheep seeking for its pastor; lo, my true shepherd
I have found, he has brought me to my fold again.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

Lo, the fight I have finished; lo, my ship I have brought to the shore,
no storm has overwhelmed it, no wave has seized it,
I was sitting marveling, like poor men that have been taken
prisoner : adoration to the mercy of the Father.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

I was heading for shipwreck before I found the ship of Truth
a divine tacking was Jesus who helped me.
Who then shall be able to tell of the gift that came to me?
An unspeakable grace overtook me.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

Take unto you the word of Truth, o men that love God;
The world is nothing, there is no gain in it at all.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

Men are thinking that they are at rest yet
they know not that trouble is preparing for them.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

They run and burst forth until the hour overtakes them.
They have been called, they have not understood;
they have gone too and fro in vanity.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

I have despised the world so as to give life unto my soul:
the things of the flesh I have forsaken, the things of the
Spirit I have been in accord with them.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

Since I found my Savior I have walked in his steps.
I have not hung back at all of this garland to receive it.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

O how great is the joy that is prepared for the Perfect . . . .
. . . . . . . . all of you, my brethren, we inherit it.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . against this deceitful friend the darts of
the . . . . . . . . . . . . . ye have conquered them.
My brethren, I have received my garland.

Glory and honor to Jesus, the king of the holy ones, and his
holy Elect. Victory to the soul of the blessed Mary, Cleopatra." ( Manichaean Writings, Psalm to Jesus X )

"Ha valaki engem szolgál, kövessen engem. És ahol én vagyok, ott lesz az én szolgám is" (Jn 12,26). Hol van Krisztus király? Nyilván a mennyben. Ezért, harcos, futásodat el kell végezned. ( Nagy Szent Vazul, Aszketikus vázlat, A kappadókiai atyák, 209 )

Ekkor kijött Jézus, rajta volt a töviskorona és a bíbor ruha. Pilátus így szólt hozzájuk: Íme, az ember!" ( Jn 19,1-5 )

( ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔξω, φορῶν τὸν ἀκάνθινον στέφανον καὶ τὸ πορφυροῦν ἱμάτιον. καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς · Ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄνθρωπος. )
