Other verses on the same If you want to arrive at the heavenly height and to behold, O man, the delights of heaven, the choirs of saints, of hierarchs, of martyrs, the assembly of prophets, of fathers, of apostles, the immaterial ranks of angels, of archangels, and if you want to participate in the pleasures of that place, then vigorously ascend this ladder, with the cross as a leader and a guide. |
