A Christian Sermon
Jesus Christus, sicut vos, Christiani, cognovistis, est et Filius Dei et frater noster. Propter nos enim et propter

nostram salutem in mundum venit. Magnos labores et dolores graves pro nobis sustinuit. Mortem etiam miseram
pro nobis sustinuit. Deus est qui mundum regit, qui terram et caelum fecit;1 attamen2 ad mortem pro nobis

ductus est. Per ejus autem mortem vita atque salus nobis datae sunt. In mundum enim venit ut peccata nostra

misera tolleret.

Nonne eum, filii mei, laudabimus atque adorabimus? Nonne ei gratias agemus? Nonne eum Dominum et

Regem appellabimus?

Spem vestram, O Christiani, in eo ponite ne hostis vos perturbet. Legem ejus sanctam conservate ut gratiam

Dei habeatis. Fidem servate ut Deus mentes vestras regat et vos viam salutis doceat. Tenete fortiter et semper

veritatem Christi, qui est lux mundi. Orate et gratiam petite ne peccatum in vobis sit. Adjuvate omnes fratres

vestros sicut frater noster, Christus, nos adjuvit. Sustinete, fratres, sustinete fortiter injurias et dolores ut similes

ei sitis qui mortem etiam pro vobis fortiter sustinuit. Is enim per dolorem et mortem ad gloriam pervenit; nos

etiam per dolorem et mortem ad gloriam perveniemus.

Itaque, Christiani, contendite in Caelum ut cum sanctis Dei, cum Josepho et Maria, Patrem et Filium et

Spiritum Sanctum laudetis in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

1 fecit: (he) made.
