25

Let us remember with accuracy all the things that have been said; and before all other things, keep for me that image continually, according to which I said the poor stand before the doors of the houses of prayer, fulfilling for the soul the need which the fountain does for the body. For if we continually remember this, constantly washing our thought, we will be able to offer pure prayers, and to draw upon ourselves much boldness from God, and to obtain the kingdom of heaven, by the grace and loving-kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power unto the ages of ages. Amen.

μνημονεύωμεν μετὰ ἀκριβείας ἅπαντα τὰ εἰρημένα· καὶ πρό γε τῶν ἄλλων ἁπάντων ἐκείνην μοι τὴν εἰκόνα διατηρεῖτε διηνεκῶς, καθ' ἣν εἶπον τοὺς πένητας πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν ἑστάναι τῶν εὐκτηρίων οἴκων, ταύτην ἐπὶ τῆς ψυχῆς ἀναπληροῦντες τὴν χρείαν, ἣν ἐπὶ τοῦ σώματος ἡ κρήνη. Ἂν γὰρ τοῦτο ὦμεν διηνεκῶς μεμνημένοι, συνεχῶς ἀπονιπτόμενοι τὸν λογισμὸν, καθαρὰς μὲν δυνησόμεθα τὰς εὐχὰς ἐπιτελεῖν. πολλὴν δὲ ἐπισπάσασθαι παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν παῤῥησίαν, καὶ τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν ἐπιτυχεῖν, χάριτι καὶ φιλανθρωπίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
