Become for me a mirror of virtue.

Following in the footsteps of the crucified Christ,

bathe yourself in the blood of the crucified Christ,

and thereby, for the length of your life,

such as my wish, do nothing but seek out the crucified one

and make of him the great object of your longing, like a true bride,

bought with the blood of the crucified Christ.

For you can see with your own eyes that you have become his bride,

and that he has married you, and every creature, not with a ring of silver,

but with a very ring of his flesh.

Oh, depth and height of love are not rubble, how profoundly you have loved this bride of yours,

the human race, oh, life through which all things do live,

you have plucked humanity from the clasp of the devil,

who previously had possessed it as his own,

and made it one with your flesh through marriage.

Your blood, you have given us a pledge,

and by offering your body as a sacrifice,

you have made their necessary payment.

Therefore, my daughter, drink deep of Christ's blood,

so that's all.

That's all.
