Aava

This is a sterile Woman from Ptolemais about to be repudiated by her husband.

Jesus reconciles this couple on the verge of breaking up due to sterility. He tells them:

"The Law says not to commit adultery, and you are going to commit it. The commandment given originally is that one and no other. If, because of the hardness of your Hearts Moses allowed you divorce, it was to prevent immoral affairs and concubinage which are offensive to God. Then, increasingly, your vice extended Moses' clause until it resulted in the inhumane chains and murderous stones that are the current conditions of the Woman, always a victim of your domination, your whims, your deafness, your Blindness in matters of affection. I tell you: you are not permitted to do what you want to do."

He promises them a son "for the feast of praise for the fertile harvests of the coming year."

On this occasion, he utters an invocation for the gift of fertility.
