TranslationLatin titles which accompany the tinted drawings of scenes from the life of St AlexisBlessed Alexis, chosen youth
Here begins the pleasant
song and pious account of that noble lord named Eufemien and of the life
of his blessed son about whom we have heard readings and song. By God’s
will and his own wish he (Eufemien) begat this one son. After the birth
this was a child beloved of God himself and he was brought up with great
affection by his father and mother. His youth was honourable and devout.
Out of regard for sovereign piety he commends his young bride to the true
living Bridegroom who is one sole creator and who reigns in the Trinity.
This story is a pleasing grace and a supreme consolation for the pious
minds of all those who live purely in chastity and worthily take delight
in heavenly joys and virginal marriage./ |
