After a space of about three hours
his wife,
not knowing what had occurred,
came in .
Peter reacted and said to her:
‘Tell me,
did you both sell the land
‘for so much’?
She said:
Yes, ‘for so much’?
Then Peter said to her:
‘Why did you agree together
to test the Spirit of the Lord?
Look,
the feet of the those who buried your husband
are at the door
and they will carry you out!’
She fell down, at once
at his feet and died.
So as they entered
the young men found her dead,
and carried her out
and buried beside her husband.
And a great fear
came upon the whole church
and upon all who heard these things.
Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen
St Anselm
