Nothing indeed can be hoped for, nothing can be accomplished until the Catholic people fully grasp and intensely feel what their help and co-operation however little it may be mean to the Church, to the salvation of souls, to the honour of our Blessed Lord, to the glory of God. Fac ut videant!
Seeing this, the consul Memmius Regulus laughed, and, raising his bald head with wreath awry, exclaimed, "Who says that Rome is perishing? What folly! I, a consul, know better. Videant consules! Thirty legions are guarding our pax romana!"
Sed anima non perfectius videbit Deum quam angelus: ergo animæ videntes Deum non oportet quod omnia videant.... Sic autem ignorantia non est poenalitas, sed defectus quidam: nec necesse est quod omnis talis defectus per gloriam auferatur.

The decree of the senate, videant consules, etc., had come to be considered as reviving the full imperium of the consul, and investing him with the power of life and death over all citizens. He endeavoured, indeed, to shelter himself under the authority of a senatorial vote. But the senate never had the power to try or condemn a citizen. It could only record its advice to the consul.
He heard Latin words, which he did not understand, pass over him, so slowly that he was able to catch them one by one: "Qui dormiunt in terrae pulvere, evigilabunt; alii in vitam aeternam, et alii in approbrium, ut videant semper." A child's voice said: "De profundis." The grave voice began again: "Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine." The child's voice responded: "Et lux perpetua luceat ei."
