Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Glossa Ordinaria
Wherefore. Because so great a grace has been promised you, that you may see unveiled that which the angels now see, take care to be so much the more worthy, that you may be able to receive it. Hope. Await securely in mind, and chaste in body. For he who does not know that he pleases the Lord, deservedly lacking the hope of good things, fears lest it come too soon.
