1
¶p: The Tenth Communion is with the Angel of Sun, she who comes each morning, as a bride from her chamber, to shed her golden light on the world.
2
¶c: O Immortal, Shining, Life-giving Angel of Sun, there is no warmth without you, no fire without you, no life without you.
3
The green leaves of the trees do honor you, and through you does the tiny wheat kernel become a river of golden grass, moving with the wind.
4
¶a: Through you is opened the flower in the center of my body; therefore will I never hide myself from you.
5
Angel of Sun, holy messenger of the Earthly Mother, enter the holy temple within me, and give me the Fire of Life.
6
¶p: Come, rise up and roll along, you Immortal, Shining, Life-giving Angel of Sun.
7
Rise above the mountains and produce light for the world of mankind.
8
¶c: Angel of Sun, you are the fountain of light; you drive away the darkness so that mortals can live.
9
¶p: Open the gate of the horizon so that Light can flow to us from the Father and Mother of Lights.
10
¶c: The Angel of Sun dwells far above the earth, yet her rays fill our days with life and warmth.
11
¶p: The chariot of the morning brings the light of the rising sun, and makes glad the hearts of mankind.
12
¶c: The Angel of Sun illumines our path with rays of splendor.
13
¶a: Angel of Sun, dart forth your rays upon me.
14
Let them touch me; let them penetrate me.
15
I give myself to you and your embrace, that I may be blessed with the Fire of Life.
16
A molten flood of holy joy flows toward me from you.
17
Truly you are a fountain of life, O Angel of Sun.
18
¶p: As no mortal can look at the sun with naked eyes, so no mortal can see the Gods face to face, lest he be consumed by the flames which emanate from their presence.
19
Our Gods are a consuming Fire, even the Source of all Life.
20
Study, then, the Holy Law, for the face of the Sun, and the face of the Gods, can be seen only by the one who has within him the revelation of the Law.
21
Do you think that death is an end? If so, your thoughts are foolish, as those of a child who sees dark sky and falling rain, and cries that there is no sun.
22
Would you grow strong in the Law? Be, then, as the sun at noonday, which shines with light and warmth on everyone, and gives freely and abundantly of her golden glory.
23
Then will the fountain of Light flow back to you, as the sun is never without light, for it flows freely, without restraint.
24
¶c: And when the Sun rises, then the Earth, made by the Creator, becomes clean.
25
The running waters become pure; the waters of the wells become pure; the waters of the sea become pure; the standing waters become pure; all the holy creatures become pure.
26
¶p: It is through brightness and glory that a person is born again, who listens well to the holy words of the Law.
27
That is the person whom Wisdom holds dear.
28
¶c: In brightness and glory does the Sun go his way; in brightness and glory does the Moon go her way; in brightness and glory do the Stars go their way.
29
¶p: To the Immortal, Shining, Life-giving Sun, let there be dedication, with sacrifice and prayer to them who created her.
30
¶c: When the light of the Sun grows brighter, when the brightness of the Sun grows warmer, then do the heavenly forces arise.
31
They pour their glory on the Earth, made by the Heavenly Father, for the increase of the Children of Light, for the increase of the Immortal, Shining, Life-giving Sun.
32
¶p: He who is devoted to the Immortal, Shining, Life-giving Sun, will withstand the darkness, will withstand death, when it creeps in unseen.
33
He it is who worships the Heavenly Father, who honors the holy Angels, who offers up his own soul to the Lord, to him will these blessings come.
34
¶c: He rejoices all the heavenly and earthly forces, who is devoted to the Immortal, Shining, Life-giving Sun.
35
The best of all friendships, is that friendship which flows between the Angel of Sun and the children of the Earthly Mother.
36
¶a: I extol the glorious light, the strength and the vigor, of the Immortal, Shining, Life-giving Angel of Sun.
