God the Father spoke while the whole host of Heaven was listening, and said: "Before you all, I complain over giving My daughter to a man who tortures her greatly and without measure, crushing her feet in the stocks so severely that all the marrow has gone out of her feet."
The Son answered Him: "Father, she is the one I redeemed with My blood and espoused to Myself, but now she has been brutally violated."
Then the Mother of God spoke and said: "You are my God and my Lord, and Your blessed Son's limbs were enclosed within my body, who is Your true Son and my true Son. I refused You nothing on earth. Have mercy on Your daughter for the sake of my prayers."
Thereafter the angels spoke, saying: "You are our Lord and Creator; in You we possess every good thing, and we need nothing but You. We all rejoiced when Your bride went forth from You, but now we are rightly sad, because she has been given into the hands of the worst man who insults her with all kinds of mocking and abuse. Have mercy on her for the sake of Your great mercy, for her misery is very great, and there is no one to console and save her but You Lord, God Almighty."
