Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Romános (8,35.37-39)
Fratres: Quis nos separábit a caritáte Christi? Tribulátio an angústia an persecútio an fames an núditas an perículum an gládius? Sed in his ómnibus supervíncimus per eum, qui diléxit nos. Certus sum enim quia neque mors neque vita neque ángeli neque principátus neque instántia neque futúra neque virtútes neque altitúdo neque profúndum neque ália quælíbet creatúra póterit nos separáre a caritáte Dei, quæ est in Christo Iésu Dómino nostro.
Brethren: Who then shall separate us from the charity of Christ? tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword? But in all these things we overcome because of him that hath loved us. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, neither things present, nor things to come, neither might, nor height, nor depth, nor other creature, shall be able to separate us from the charity of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
