Prayer for the oil

3807216Mandaïsche Liturgien — Prayer 631920Mark Lidzbarski
LXIII.
With rich splendor am I baptized,
with bright light am I strengthened.
Mandā baptized me,
Kuštā strengthened me.
A letter, the connection and victoriousness
came to me from the house of life.
Its binding is the water,
its wreath the light,
its weapon the living speech,
its seal the chosen, pure one.
Anyone who opens it and reads it
will find life and healing,
and its name will be established
in the house of life.
In the name of the alien life from the worlds...
And the life is victorious.

Commentary
