Fiat Domine
Language: Latin
Fiat Domine mihi possibile per gratiam, quod mihi impossibile videtur per naturam. Tu scis quod modicum possum pati et quod cito dejicior levi exsurgente adversitate. Efficiator mihi quaelibet exercitatio tribulationis, pro nomine tuo, amabilis et optabilis; nam pati et vexari pro te valde salubre est animae meae.
