the crucified orator 684 Greetings, most noble reader! Moved by devout, but not audacious courage, guided by an inner movement, I explained the last words of Eternal Wisdom, who endedHis life in the human body with a sermon. I do not judge my effort. I leave that to your honesty. I used the Sacred Scriptures along with commentaries. I took sparingly quotations from secular literature and left themnearly in their original wording, so that the glory of eloquence may remain with their authors. If only one soul benefits frommy effort, that will be much fruit for me. Since I could have mentioned the works of a man, as of yet unapproved by the holy Mother Church, therefore, I am doing now as Pope Urban VIII instructed, namely: I submit the statements entirely according to his thought and will. Live always happily and farewell.
