“Les trois n’étaient pas plus justes que les sept qui furent sauvés; leur justice fut digne comme leur confession fut digne; mais Dieu détourna les yeux de leurs actes pour que soit proclamée leur vérité. Et les saints furent couronnés le premier jour du mois d’Ab; que par leurs prières nous soyons tous jugés dignes de devenir leurs associés. Amen.”
