Manichaean Invocation

This prayer is a Manichaean invocation of a feminine Holy Spirit, according to Prof. F.C. Burkitt in a note in the Oxford edition of the Acts of Thomas:

"Come, thou power of the Most High, and the compassion that is perfect.
"Come, gift of the Most High.
"Come, compassionate mother.
"Come, communion of the male.
"Come, she that revealeth the hidden mysteries.
"Come, mother of the seven houses, that thy rest may be in the eighth house.
"Come, elder of the five members, mind, thought, reflection, consideration, reason; communicate with these young men.
"Come, holy spirit, and cleanse their reins and their heart, and give them the added seal, in the name of the Father and Son and Holy Ghost."
