Cia do fhéachfadh ar m'éigin? tarla a lán dom leithéidibh san ghlas i dtámaid gan tail nach tánaig as gan eochair. An glas do hiadhadh oirne d'osgladh muna fhéadoim-ne ná fuilngeadh sé ar n-osnaidh air an té as cosmhail dár gcobhair. Fear is dáil cobhra chuige méad a éigne is usaide; gníomh nó go ndearna fa dheoidh mo dhíon ar meanma Mícheoil. Mo chion do-chuaidh i roimhéad gomadh obair m'iomchoimhéad; mei-se is m'óige re holcaibh móide an treise ar dtarochtain. Ar m'fhoghnamh ní huair chairde, anois tráth ar dteasairg-ne; an lá as ghoire as fhearr mh'fheitheamh m'oire ós 'n-a ceann cuirfithear. Ní hé a dhíoth áirmhim uile Dia dá ndiulta a theachtoire; damh-sa muna thoibhghe tréan doilghe a mhasla do Mhíchéal. Ó bhias liom lá na tiomna maor tobhaigh an tighiorna créad acht éara deise dhó mei-se dá n-éara Íoso? Ní dhlighfeadh gan mo dhearadh bráth díreach an Dúileamhan; dá mbeath m'éag 'n-a éag inill an bhreath créad nach cuimhnighim. Ag coill reachta ríogh nimhe a-tú ó thús m'aimsire; do caithfidhe ar sgáth mo sgeoil bláth ar maithmhighe Mhícheoil. Leis do díolfaidhe a dhiomdha bheith do thoil an tighiorna; a síodh a-raon do-roighne maor an ríogh dá riaroim-ne. Ní áiréamhainn m'éara féin acht Dia do dhiultadh Mhíchéil; ní budh comhnáir damh-sa is dó masla d'fhoghbháil ó Íoso. D'éanfhuil is usaide ar ndíon mei-se is máthair an airdríogh, Muire i n-ar seilbh gach ré seal gan m'fheidhm uile ar an aingeal. D'fhior m'éigne is adhbhar diomdha ar theachtaire an tighiorna ní caitheamh do-chóidh 'n-a tréan an chóir dá maitheadh Míchéal. "'N-a fhíoch dá bhfásadh fuinneamh" m'fhuigheall ris an archaingeal "suidhidh sinn ar saor nimhe ná taobh inn re himpidhe." A réadla iuil na n-uile, bean a truaill don trócuire; tairg tráth mo locht do leigheas bláth ar n-olc sul aibghigheas. Gé tám ag tuar do dhiomdha cia tu-sa acht mo thighiorna? ní tuilltir é mar budh eol mé dod mhuintir, a Mhícheol. Ionnsaigh an uain as neasa, mithid cuimhne an chairdeasa ag sin an bráth ag bagar nó sir tráth dar dteasragadh. Ga cur a-rís 'n-a riocht féin i ló an mheasraighthe, a Mhíchéil, cré a chéile i gcách ní chuirfe ar gcréi-ne an tráth thiomsuighthe. Cuma gan t'aithearrach ann, a chroinn fhosgaidh na n-anam; gá seise ar budh déanta id dheoidh dá séanta mei-se, a Mhícheoil. Tabhair m'éigean dot aire; lamhthar thart id thrócaire; an chóir is a rinn riom-sa fóir inn as an éigion-sa, Mo lochta i ló na breithe ar deoir liom ní leigfeithe; lá ar ndaorthai-ne ag crann an chígh ní ham maothchroidhe, a Mhíchíl. Don anmain nó go n-ionnla gabh treise ar do thighiorna; ar sal do ghabháil glanta fagh i n-anáir th'umhlachta. Mithid mo chosg do chiontaibh, do-chuaidh thort mo tháirriochtain; is treise dhúin-ne fa dheoidh gé mhúine mhei-se, a Mhícheoil. Tair dá n-iadhadh im ionadh gona doimhne an Dúiliomhan; an taobh dearg dá ndúine dham searg is a úire an t-áladh. Ní fhoghnann acht 'n-a am féin; cuir-se ar múnadh, a Mhíchéil; biaidh lá bhus cás ar gcoimhdhe an grás gé tá ar tábhoirne. Feitheamh m'anma ós díot dleaghar, a mhaoir mheic an Dúileamhan, féachar cia do héaradh ann Dia muna fhéaghadh oram. An té tharla ar mo leas-sa dá raibh leam lá an aighneasa do chóir gé admha an t-aingeal ní dóigh agra an t-archaingeal. Gin go maitheam do mhaor Dé gan chur liom i ló an fhínné fuair ar mbiodhbha d'áth oirn-ne nach fáth diomdha ar ndiultaidh-ne. Fa chéile nocha coimhthe mei-se is maor an mheadhaighthe; damh-sa a-tá mar nar tuilleadh an lá annsa an t-archaingeal. Créad acht toibhéim dá threise Dia dá ndiultadh m'oirchis-se? maor Dé, dá ndearnadh ar gcóir, nach bearnadh é dá anóir? Luach m'fhoghanta d'fhagháil damh ionann dó agus mo dhearadh; nach géabha acht gun té do thuill is é m'éara go háluinn. Maor Dé do dhíon an uile ullmha iná do hiarrfuidhe; re cabhair d'iarraidh ní an; triallaidh i n-aghaidh m'anman. A aithearrach mar aighne it aghaidh ní iarrfaim-ne; cia a-déartha do dhíol mo chean fa síodh dá n-éartha an t-aingeal? Goin an chroinn id chíoch dheas-sa gémadh fachain faitcheasa beag m'eagla fa chrú an chroidhe dá bhfreagra tú ar dteachtoire. A-tá an t-aighne im ionadh rem cheanaibh dá gcúirtioghadh; teacht id theagh muna thuillear lean th'eacht ar an archaingeal. A-tá do thruime ar n-éigne 's gan im chorp dar gcoimhéid-ne go gcaithfidhe a rinn reimpe maithmhighe ar gcinn choimirce.
