when I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit,

and in adulthood,
and when I taught you the Book and wisdom,
the Torah and the Evangel,
and when you would create from clay
the form of a bird, with My leave,
and you would breathe into it
and it would become a bird, with My leave;
and you would heal the blind and the leper,
with My leave,
and you would raise the dead, with My leave;
