��TEPECANO PRAYERS

��133

��will spring up the maiden who is thy child. Likewise do we beg forgiveness of thee, my Father and Mother, my Guide and Morning Star, who dwellest beneath the east whence thou didst send thy child hither. Here did she arrive in this world weeping, to succor us that we might have food and might go beholding where now we grope in darkness, journeying through the world. We say unto thee that we will sow here, if perchance we may guard well thy daughter. Do not look askance; thou must reach me thy hand that I may be held in it and go beholding through all hours. Thus do I say unto thee who art my Lord, my Guide and Morning Star. So be it.

May God bless you.
