Ascension of Isaiah 8

Visio Isaiae

Now he made me ascend to the sixth heaven, and I saw a splendor that I had not seen in the fifth.

2And the angels were enveloped by an immense glory.

3And I said to the angel who was leading me: 'What am I seeing, O my Lord?'

4And he said to me: 'I am not your Lord, but only your companion.'

5And he said to me: 'In the seventh heaven dwells he who has no name, and the Beloved.'

6And there was invoked first the Father, then Christ, his Beloved, and then the Holy Spirit.

7And the things that were said were quite different; sweeter were the voices, brighter was the light.
