1
¶p: The Second Communion is with our Earthly Mother, she who sends forth her Angels to be the roots of mortals, guiding them deep into the blessed soil.
2
¶a: We invoke the Earthly Mother, the holy Preserver of our lives and our health, if we obey her laws.
3
¶p: It is she who will restore the world.
4
¶c: The earth is hers, and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein.
5
¶a: We revere the good, the strong, the gracious Earthly Mother, and honor her Angels, who are bounteous, valiant, and full of strength, gracious, kind, and health-giving.
6
¶p: Through her nourishment, do the plants grow up from the earth, from the never-failing springs of her strength.
7
¶c: Through her power, do the winds blow, driving the clouds, and bringing the rains upon the earth.
8
¶a: The Earthly Mother and I are One.
9
I have my roots in her, and she takes her delight in me, according to the Holy Law.
10
¶p: Honor your Earthly Mother, that your days may be long in the land.
11
Your Earthly Mother is in you, and you in her.
12
She bore you; she gives you life.
13
It was she who gave you your body, and to her will you one day give it back again.
14
Happy are you when you come to know her and her realm.
15
If you receive your Mother’s Angels, and if you live by her laws, you will be blessed with health in the navel and marrow in the bones.
16
¶c: The power of our Mother is very great, for she has rule over the bodies of all humans and all living things.
17
The blood which runs in us is born of the blood of our Earthly Mother.
18
¶p: Her blood falls from the clouds, leaps up from the womb of the earth, babbles in the brooks of the mountains, flows wide in the rivers of the plains, sleeps in the lakes, rages mightily in the tempestuous seas.
19
¶c: The air which we breathe is born of the breath of our Earthly Mother.
20
¶p: Her breath is in the heights of the heavens, sighs in the tops of the mountains, whispers in the leaves of the forest, billows over the cornfields, slumbers in the deep valleys, burns hot in the desert.
21
¶c: The hardness of our bones is born of the bones of our Earthly Mother, of the rocks and of the stones.
22
¶p: They stand naked to the heavens on the tops of the mountains; they are as giants that lie sleeping on the sides of the mountains, as pillars set in the desert, and are hidden in the depths of the earth.
23
¶c: The tenderness of our flesh is born of the flesh of our Earthly Mother, whose flesh grows yellow and red in the fruits of the trees, and nurtures us in the furrows of the fields.
24
The light of our eyes, the hearing of our ears, both are born of the colors and sounds of our Earthly Mother, which enclose us about, as the waves of the sea a fish, and as the eddying air a bird.
25
¶p: Mortals are the children of the Earthly Mother, and from her, did the Son of Man receive his body, even as the body of the newborn babe is born of the womb of his mother.
26
You are one with the Earthly Mother; she is in you, and you in her.
27
Of her were you born; in her do you live, and to her will you return again.
28
Keep, therefore, her laws, for none can live long, neither be happy, but he who honors his Earthly Mother, and lives by her laws.
29
Your breath is her breath, your blood her blood, your bone her bone, your flesh her flesh, your eyes and your ears are her eyes and her ears.
30
¶a: Always are we embraced by our Earthly Mother; always are we surrounded by her beauty.
31
Never can we part from her; never can we know her depths.
32
Ever does she create new forms; that which now exists, never was before; that which did exist, returns not again.
33
In her realm, all is ever new, and always old.
34
In her do we live, yet we know her not.
35
Continually does she speak to us, yet never does betray to us her secrets.
36
Ever do we till her soil, and harvest her crops, yet we have no power over her.
37
Ever does she build; ever does she destroy, and her workplace is hidden from mortal eyes.
