Original text and translations

Latin text Nunc incipio Christi esse discipulus, nihil de his quae videntur, desiderans, ut Iesum Christum inveniam. Ignis, crux, bestiae, confractio ossium, membrorum divisio, et totius corporis contritio, et tota tormenta diaboli in me veniant; tantum Christo fruar. Divinum Officium, Ad Matutinum, Lectio 6

English translation I feel now that I am beginning to be Christ's disciple; I desire none of those things which are seen, if so be I may find Christ Jesus. I care not that there come upon me fire, or cross, or wild beasts, or breaking of my bones, or sundering of my members, or destruction of my whole body, yea, or all the torments of the devil, if only so be I may win Christ.
