Bultmann
"Authentic truth is inseparable from existential self understanding. It is a challenge in light of which I understand myself in the concrete moment and realize my existence in decision. Anything which is not such a challenge is not authentically and really true."
Textum hoc est fundamentalis de sententia Bultmann. Difficilius est comprehendere quid vult dicere, parte quod dixit sine interpretatione, sed vult dicere quemdam sicut hoc: Scientia et veritas sunt nihil alia quam electione; in electione, facebam esse meus, facebam me qui sum. Etenim electio faciebat me quid sum, existentialis intellectus sui venit solummodo per electionem, et sic veritas, veritas meas, veritas mei, venit quum electione mea.
Iam sunt magna errores hic; sed primo est, facit veritatem esse relativa electioni quorumque qui eligunt. Sic post textum dicebit quod veritas absoluta non esse. Hoc est deridiculissimum extra finem rationem. Stultus est sicut stultus facit! Etiam dum dicet, contradixit se. Dicet veritatem non esse absoluta, et dicet hoc absolute tamquam erat veritas absoluta! Satis dicendi...

Somnus Polyphasic, dies sexta.
Nova Littera
Hodie est nunc dies octava; prior scriptura scriptus est in sabbato.
Res etiam remanet bene. Sentio minus fessi nocte et dies sunt naturales. Scribam prolixior scriptura in matteria cum complevi laborem meam cras.
“Iuravit Dominus et non paenitebit eum. Tu es sacerdos in aeternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech”
Ordinatio hac erat prima quae attendi. Erat pulchra, sed dat mihi sensus miros. Audire verba illa, quae scribetur ad capitem scripturae huius, quam mirabile! Fortasse Dominus noster dabit gratia illa mihi in tempus providentiae divinae...
Orate pro patre Benedicto!

Somnus Polyphasic, dies quarta
De utilitate facientis coenas sibi
Primus: Si bracina malum coenum prebeat, non adigis id edere.
Secundus: Species ciborum quod amas, tu facis potes.
Tertius: Non oportet tibi sufferre datus es parvarum portionum (sicut TAC) vel aspera ministrorum (sicut ITI)
Et sunt multa rationes ultra comprehensionem hominis, quod Deus solus scit.

Translatio Cantus
I'll sing a hymn to Mary,
the mother of our God,
the virgin of all virgins,
of David's royal blood.
Oh teach me, Holy Mary,
a loving song to frame,
when wicked men blaspheme thee,
I'll love and bless thy name!
----------------------
In lingua latina,
----------------------
Cantabo cantatum Mariae,
mater dei nostri,
sanguinis regiae Davidis.
O me doce Maria Sancta,
amantem cantatum facere,
quando mali te blasphemant,
nomen tua amabo et benedicam!

Textus de libro Revelationis
----------------------
et vidi caelum novum et terram novam primum enim caelum et prima terra abiit et mare iam non est et civitatem sanctam Hierusalem novam vidi descendentem de caelo a Deo paratam sicut sponsam ornatam viro suo et audivi vocem magnam de throno dicentem ecce tabernaculum Dei cum hominibus et habitabit cum eis et ipsi populus eius erunt et ipse Deus cum eis erit eorum Deus et absterget Deus omnem lacrimam ab oculis eorum et mors ultra non erit neque luctus neque clamor neque dolor erit ultra quae prima abierunt
----------------------
In anglice,
----------------------
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were gone, and the sea is already gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem decending down from heaven, prepared by God just as a spouse adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying, Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will live with them, and they will be his people, and God himself with them shall be their God, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death besides will be no more, nor grief, nor cries, nor sorrow, for those which are first have gone away.

Divina Clementia

I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls. (1074)

In latina lingua:
----------------------
Ego sum Caritas et Clementia ipsa. Quando anima Me accedit cum fiducia, eam cum tanta abundantia gratiarum compleo, quod non potest eas in se continere, sed eas radiavit aliis animis. (1074)

Cap. 12. De regia via sanctae crucis.
1. Durus hic multis videtur sermo. Abnego temet ipsum, tolle crucem tuam et sequere Jesum. Sed multo durius erit audire illud extremum verbum: Discedite a me, omnes maledicti, in ignem æternum. Qui enim modo libenter audiunt verbum crucis, et sequuntur, tunc non timebunt ab auditione æternæ damnationis. Hoc signum crucis erit in cælo, cum Dominus ad judicandum venerit. Tunc omnes servi crucis, qui se Crucifixo conformaverunt in vita, ad Christum accedent judicem cum magna fiducia.
----------------------eo transferre potest in anglice sic:

Chapter 12: concerning the royal way of the Holy Cross
This saying seems hard to many: Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus. But it will be much harder to hear that final word: Depart from me, ye cursed, into eternal fire. For he who freely hears the word of the cross, and follows, will not at that time fear the hearing of eternal damnation. The sign of the cross will be in the sky, when the Lord comes to judge. Then all the servants of the cross, who conformed themselves to the Crucified in life, shall go to Christ the judge with great trust.
----------------------
September quartus decimus erat festa crucis sancti. Est tempus quod datus est nobis a sancte matre ecclesia ad meditandi super mysterium crucis sancti, quomodo salvus sumus per eam. Accipiamus crucem nostram cum magna fiduciam in Jesum, salvatorem nostrum.

Translatio anglica
----------------------
Now might I do it pat, now he is praying;
And now I'll do't. And so he goes to heaven;
And so am I revenged. That would be scann'd:
A villain kills my father; and for that,
I, his sole son, do this same villain send
To heaven.

Nunc faciam apte, dum orat;
nunc faciam id. Et sic eat ad caelum;
et sic ultionem habui. Ille cernere oportet:
Consceleratus meum patrem occidit; et ob quod,
Ego, filius solus ejus, mitto eumdem consceleratum
ad caelum.
Translatio latina
Tractus de Sancto Thoma, Summa contra Gentiles, Liber primus, Caput sexaginta.
----------------------
Ex praemissis autem apparet quod ipse Deus est veritas.
Veritas enim quaedam perfectio est intelligentiae, sive intellectualis operationis, ut dictum est. Intelligere autem Dei est sua substantia. Ipsum etiam intelligere, cum sit divinum esse, ut ostensum est, non supervenienti aliqua perfectione perfectum est, sed est per seipsum perfectum: sicut et de divino esse supra ostensum est. Relinquitur igitur quod divina substantia sit ipsa veritas.
Item. Veritas est quaedam bonitas intellectus, secundum philosophum. Deus autem est sua bonitas, ut supra ostensum est. Ergo est etiam sua veritas.Praeterea. De Deo nihil participative dici potest: cum sit suum esse, quod nihil participat. Sed veritas est in Deo, ut supra ostensum est. Si igitur non dicatur participative, oportet quod dicatur essentialiter. Deus ergo est sua veritas.
Amplius. Licet verum proprie non sit in rebus sed in mente, secundum philosophum, res tamen interdum vera dicitur, secundum quod proprie actum propriae naturae consequitur. Unde Avicenna dicit, in sua metaphysica, quod veritas rei est proprietas esse uniuscuiusque rei quod stabilitum est ei, inquantum talis res nata est de se facere veram aestimationem, et inquantum propriam sui rationem quae est in mente divina, imitatur. Sed Deus est sua essentia. Ergo, sive de veritate intellectus loquamur sive de veritate rei, Deus est sua veritas.
Hoc autem confirmatur auctoritate domini de se dicentis, Ioan. 14-6: ego sum via, veritas et vita.
----------------------
That God is truthNow from the aforegoing it appears that God himself is truth.
For truth is a certain perfection of the intellect, or of the intellectual operation, as was said. Now God's act of understanding is His own substance. Also, since this act of understanding is the divine being, as was shown, it is not perfected by some supervening perfection, but is perfect by itself: just as was shown above about the divine being. It follows therefore that the divine substance is truth itself.
Similarly, truth is a certain goodness of the intellect, according to the Philosopher. But God is His own goodness, as was shown above. Therefore also He is His own truth.
Furthermore, nothing can be said of God participatively, since He is his own being, which participates in nothing. But truth is in God, as was shown above. If therefore it cannot be said participatively, it must be said essentially. Therefore God is His own truth.
Further, although truth is properly not in things but in the mind, according to the Philosopher, nevertheless the thing is sometimes called true, insofar as it attains properly the act of its own nature. Whence Avicenna says in his metaphysics that, the truth of a thing is the quality of being whatever thing established for it, inasmuch as such a thing was formed to make a true estimation of itself, and inasmuch as it imitates its own account that is in the divine mind. But God is his own essence. Therefore, whether we speak of the truth of the intellect or the truth of the thing, God is his own truth.
This is confirmed by the authority of the Lord, saying of Himself, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
