Now, while I prayed, the heaven was opened and I saw that woman whom I had desired greeting me from heaven and saying: Good morning, Hermas.
2
And looking at her, I said to her: Lady, what doest thou here? Then she answered me: I have been taken up hither to convict thee of thy sins before the Lord.
3
I said to her: Dost thou now convict me? Nay, she said, but hear the words that I shall say to thee.
4
God, who dwelleth in the heavens, and created out of nothing the things which are, and increased and multiplied them for His holy Church's sake, is angry with thee, because thou didst sin against me.
5
I answered her and said: Sin, against thee? In what way? Did I ever speak an unseemly word unto thee? Did I not always regard thee as a goddess? Did I not always respect thee as a sister?
6
She said: The desire after evil entered into thine heart. Nay, does it not seem to thee that for a righteous man a righteous wish is an evil deed? It is indeed a sin and a great one too.
