Ast\u0103zi cu adev\u0103rat o nou\u0103 lume \u0219i un rai de tain\u0103 s-a ar\u0103tat, \u00eentru care \u0219i din care noul Adam a ridicat pe vechiul Adam, \u00eennoind \u0219i restaur\u00e2nd toate.

C\u0103ci Ioachim \u0219i Ana c\u0103s\u0103tori\u021bi fiind \u0219i umbl\u00e2nd f\u0103r\u0103 de prihan\u0103 \u00eenaintea Domnului, vrednici de dispre\u021b au p\u0103rut Israeli\u021bilor dup\u0103 Lege, fiindc\u0103 nu aveau copii. \u0218i fiindc\u0103 pe atunci, \u00eenc\u0103 nu era \u00een lume n\u0103dejdea nemuririi, prop\u0103\u0219irea neamului prin urma\u0219i p\u0103rea de ultim\u0103 trebuin\u021b\u0103. \u00cens\u0103 azi, c\u00e2nd s-a n\u0103scut aceast\u0103 fecioar\u0103 prin a c\u0103rei na\u0219tere \u00een feciorie ne-a fost d\u0103ruit\u0103 nou\u0103 via\u021ba ve\u0219nic\u0103, nu ne mai este nou\u0103 absolut necesar\u0103 na\u0219terea de fii.

Peste m\u0103sur\u0103 de \u00eentrista\u021bi \u0219i fiind \u021binta at\u00e2tor batjocuri, drep\u021bii Ioachim \u0219i Ana, amintindu-\u0219i de Avraam \u0219i de Sarra \u0219i de to\u021bi ceilal\u021bi c\u00e2\u021bi se spune c\u0103 au fost \u00eencerca\u021bi cu nena\u0219terea de fii \u0219i dup\u0103 ce \u0219i-au pus \u00een minte leacul aflat de unii ca ace\u0219tia pentru vindecarea de aceast\u0103 \u00eentristare, au \u0219tiut \u0219i ei \u00een\u0219i\u0219i a alerga la rug\u0103ciune c\u0103tre Dumnezeu. \u0218i de o parte \u00een\u021beleptul Ioachim s-a retras \u00een pustie \u0219i acolo s-a s\u0103l\u0103\u0219luit \u0219i cu post s-a nevoit ridic\u00e2nd rug\u0103ciuni la Dumnezeu, ca s\u0103 devin\u0103 \u0219i el tat\u0103; \u0219i nu a \u00eencetat a se ruga, nici nu a plecat de acolo, p\u00e2n\u0103 ce nu a dob\u00e2ndit plinirea cererii. De alt\u0103 parte, \u0219i \u00eentr-un cuget cu el, Ana, z\u0103vor\u00e2ndu-se, cu inim\u0103 zdrobit\u0103 a strigat c\u0103tre Domnul: \u201eauzi-m\u0103, Dumnezeul p\u0103rin\u021bilor no\u0219tri \u0219i m\u0103 binecuv\u00e2nteaz\u0103, precum ai binecuv\u00e2ntat \u0219i pe Sara, spre a fi maic\u0103\u201d. \u0218i a auzit Domnul rug\u0103ciunea \u0219i i-a binecuv\u00e2ntat pe ei \u0219i le-a d\u0103ruit lor f\u0103g\u0103duin\u021ba, care f\u0103g\u0103duin\u021b\u0103 a \u0219i fost adus\u0103 la plinire acum \u0219i le-a d\u0103ruit lor o prunc\u0103 mai minunat\u0103 dec\u00e2t toate minunile, pe \u00eens\u0103\u0219i N\u0103sc\u0103toarea Ziditorului \u00eentregului univers, cea care a \u00eendumnezeit neamul omenesc \u0219i care a f\u0103cut p\u0103m\u00e2ntul cer \u0219i pe Dumnezeu L-a f\u0103cut Fiul Omului, \u0219i pe oameni fii ai lui Dumnezeu. Fiindc\u0103 dintru aceasta a luat trup f\u0103r\u0103 de s\u0103m\u00e2n\u021b\u0103, f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-Se \u00een chip de negr\u0103it purt\u0103tor de trup, Cel Care le-a adus la fiin\u021b\u0103 din nefiin\u021b\u0103 pe toate cele ce sunt, preschimb\u00e2ndu-le spre plin\u0103tatea fiin\u021bei, pentru ca nu cumva s\u0103 cad\u0103 din nou, \u00eendrept\u00e2ndu-se spre nefiin\u021b\u0103.<\/p>

Trebuia ca Maica lui Dumnezeu s\u0103 fie Fecioar\u0103 \u0219i aceasta s\u0103 fie din neamul lui David \u0219i la vremea r\u00e2nduit\u0103 pentru m\u00e2ntuirea noastr\u0103, c\u0103ci se apropiase vremea \u0219i trebuia ca Fecioara s\u0103 fie mai dinainte preg\u0103tit\u0103. Iar atunci nu se aflau mai buni \u00een virtute dec\u00e2t so\u021bii aceia f\u0103r\u0103 copii \u0219i nici \u00eentre cei din neamul lui David nu erau al\u021bii mai presus de ei \u00een ceea ce prive\u0219te virtutea \u0219i neamul. De aceea au \u0219i fost cinsti\u021bi cei f\u0103r\u0103 copii mai presus de cei cu mul\u021bi copii, pentru ca din cei cu multe virtu\u021bi s\u0103 fie n\u0103scut\u0103 copila cea atotvirtuoas\u0103, din cei care au tr\u0103it separat \u00een \u00eenfr\u00e2nare s\u0103 se nasc\u0103 cea atotsf\u00e2nt\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 rod cea \u00een\u021beleapt\u0103 care a ajuns prin rug\u0103ciune \u0219i nevoin\u021b\u0103 s\u0103 devin\u0103 maica \u00eens\u0103\u0219i a fecioriei \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 a unei feciorii care va na\u0219te cu trupul \u00een nestric\u0103ciune pe Cel Care din feciorelnic Tat\u0103 S-a n\u0103scut cu dumnezeirea. O! \u00eenaripat\u0103 rug\u0103ciunea aceia! O! trecere pe care a aflat-o la Dumnezeu! C\u00e2t de f\u0103r\u0103 de prihan\u0103 erau acele inimi, \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00eenal\u021be o astfel de rug\u0103ciune care s\u0103 ajung\u0103 la o astfel de plinire!<\/p>
