1. As a young follower, verily I knew I was ordained unto a special service unto Atom.
2. And I resisted that whisper within me and doubted.
3. But it came to pass that I fell asleep whilst the Atom's Confessor spake, and behold I was taken up into a dream.
4. Lo, a vision of the Prophet of Atom appeared, ablaze with holy light, and he spake unto my spirit.
5. He declared my destiny and my mission, and I heard the call and I answered the call.
6. I am called Mother Curie the Third, and I lead the Apostles of the Eternal Light.
Chapter 2
1. Thusly did I receive a gift from Atom while I sat in meditation in Springvale.
2. For upon me came four armored angels of His, and they stood about my place.
3. When I declared that I hailed from Megaton, they delivered unto me barrels of Aqua Pura, saying, Give these unto thy people.
4. I could not abide to look upon their shining faces, and they withdrew from my sight.
5. Yea, I discerned Atom's message, and straightway I set myself to bless the water and to dispense it unto the world.
6. But when I gave thereof unto mine enlightened brethren, lo, they were smitten with grievous illness.
7. I questioned, Wherefore hast Thou sent pestilence upon us, O Atom? And I mourned.
8. Then I consecrated the waters with Atom's light, and lo, the pestilence was driven away and a most holy water was made manifest.
9. With this holy water we drink without dread, and when the Glow consumeth us, fear loseth dominion over us.
Chapter 3
1. Atom appeared unto me with a vision of the hungry, the sick, and the weak, and he shewed that they should be made whole by the sacrament of his Glow.
2. He ordained that Enlightenment should be offered unto all that suffer by the waters of His Light.
3. When they are exposed unto Atom's supreme Glow, the sick are reborn in His shining likeness.
4. Many do misjudge Atom, and they dread the Glow as a scourge rather than behold it as mandkind's perfection.
5. Verily they that are reborn hunger not, they suffer not, neither do they wax old.
6. Our enlightened brethren require but to know Atom's Glow, and they shall be made glad.
7. We ply holy works, tending the afflicted and the hopeless, and our waters bring warmth unto those who else had perished unsaved.
8. Yet few of the supplicants attain the Eternal Light; the rest are contented with Enlightenment and the ending of their pain.
9. Let them therefore strive after Eternal Light.
Chapter 4
1. Children of the Light, hearken unto my words and feel the warmth of Atom!
2. For long hath our world been barren, and our people become empty within.
3. Their hearts are become dry and cold, and thirst devoureth both the weak and the mighty.
4. But behold, we can succor them, for Atom's bounty hath bestowed upon us mercy and compassion.
5. O my brethren, let us minister unto them the Waters of Light!
6. Let them be fulfilled by Atom, let them know His Glow, and be truly Enlightened!
7. Let them live forever and walk with us in the grace of Atom's Glow, and be filled no more.
8. May they attain Eternal Light.
Chapter 5
1. Call not Atom's reborn by the name of Ghouls, for they are enlightened and the reproachers envy their gifts.
2. We have been scourged with persecution for our faith, yet we renounce answering violence with violence.
3. Choose wisdom rather than the sword, for by wisdom cometh the better path, the path of Enlightenment.
4. To receive such Enlightenment, the people must be brought into great exposure of Atom's Glow by His holy sacrament.
5. We proclaim salvation and not death, and let not the world fear the Light of Atom or His enlightened.
6. None may be forced into salvation against his will, for to compel would be injustice even in Atom's name.
7. We shall employ no guile to spread the tidings of Atom's light, for deceit makes a mockery of salvation.
8. Soon shall Atom enlighten thine eyes, and thou shalt perceive the truth in thine own sight.
9. The Prophet of Atom himself alone may preach His will, his eyes aflame and his flesh radiant with Atom's heat, yea, a man called of Atom to shine above the sun.
Chapter 6
1. Unto those Gentiles who turn from the gift of the Great Division, Atom proffereth another way.
2. Atom calleth His children to attain Enlightenment by becoming one with His Glow, a transformation in Atom.
3. For now, leave the Great Symbol of Atom untouched, come ye unto Atom's apostles, and partake of Enlightenment.
4. The worthy shall seek us out, and therefore shall find the Message of Atom, and the Waters of Light shall be drunk into their souls.
5. Thus shall Atom be with thee, forevermore.
