| Quotation | Glorious 4th Chapter of Tertullian's De Oratione [On Prayer]. The Latin, sharp, austere, brilliant and torrid. Underneath the words, the history, the situation: to martyrs. Ut"¦sustineamus ad mortem usque. [That"¦we may endure even unto death.] The reality of God's will as an immense power. And suffering. Saying Fiat voluntas tua, ad sufferentiam nos metipsos praemonemus [Thy will be done, we warn ourselves ahead of time that we will have to suffer]. |
