Latin Text Selections

Five days. I haven’t skipped so badly before. It has been far from my mind for a while. Beginning last week, I’m learning Greek. I’m still far from understanding properly, but there’s the possibility of this becoming the Daily Latin and Greek, for the Bible quotations that is, if I can find some way to display the Greek.

The Latin:

56. Lectiones sanctas libenter audire,
56. orationi frequenter incumbere,
57. mala sua praeterita cum lacrimis vel gemitu cotidie in oratione Deo confiteri, de ipsis malis de cetero emendare.
59. Desideria carnis non efficere,
60. voluntatem propriam odire,

The English:

56. To listen willingly to holy reading.
57. To apply one’s self often to prayer.
58. To confess one’s past sins to God daily in prayer with sighs and tears, and to amend them for the future.
59. Not to fulfil the desires of the flesh.
60. To hate one’s own will.
