When our father Adam and Eve went out of the garden, they trod the ground with their feet not knowing where they walked.
2When they came to the opening of the gates of the garden and saw the vast earth, covered with stones, they were afraid and trembled.
3They prostrated themselves with their faces on the ground, overcome with fear, and lay as if dead.
4Because they had been in the land of the garden, beautifully planted, and now found themselves in a strange land.
5At that time they were full of grace and of a luminous nature.
6God had pity on them when he saw them fallen before the gate of the garden.
7He sent His Word to father Adam and to Eve and raised them from their prostration.
