Lectio brevis (Rom 8, 28-30)
Scimus quóniam diligéntibus Deum ómnia cooperántur in bonum, his, qui secúndum propósitum vocáti sunt. Nam, quos præscívit, et prædestinávit confórmes fíeri imáginis Fílii eius, ut sit ipse primogénitus in multis frátribus; quos autem prædestinávit, hos et vocávit; et quos vocávit, hos et iustificávit; quos autem iustificávit, illos et glorificávit.
And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren. And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
