The angel said: "She has a proud and arrogant heart and therefore a cane is needed for her so that she may be tamed."
Then our Lord said: "What then do you ask for her, My friend?"
The angel said: "My Lord, I beg for Your mercy with the rod."
Our Lord said: "For your sake, I will do so with her, that I never practice justice without mercy. Therefore, My bride should love Me with all her heart and with a good will."
