"Benedictio Dei omnipotentis, Patris et Filii et Spiritus sancti, descendat super te et maneat semper. Amen." Then there fell a silence. A horse blew out its nostrils somewhere behind and stamped; then a man's voice cried brutally: "Now then, is that popish mummery done yet?" There was a murmur and stir in the group. But Anthony had risen. "That is all," he said.
"Ego baptizo te in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti." Then the woman and the boy were standing again without the entrance in the chilly air, and the ancient monk was upon the threshold under the carved arch; his thin hands, white in the darkness, were lifted high, and he blessed them, and they went their way.
He has believed that nothing would be more amusing than the actual resurrection of this antique affair, wherein shines forth the illiterate simplicity of the good old times. Now, then, give ear. This is the order in which were the manuscripts, of which the author has made use in his own fashion, because the language was devilishly difficult. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
Benedetto murmured: "In the Benedictine habit, on the bare earth, in the shade of a tree." "Should it happen thus," the Holy Father said gently, "I would wish to bless you in that moment.

It was the Cardinal who stood there, upright and serene as ever, with a look in his eyes that silenced the priest. He lifted his hand on which shone his great amethyst, and at the motion, scarcely knowing what he did, the priest was on his knees. "Benedictio Dei omnipotentis Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, descendat super te, et maneat semper." That was all; not a word more.
The ideal of the professor in a university is self-improvement and personal achievement; but in the small college, the teacher is expected to give, above everything else, personal service and devotion to the interests of his students. He should stand to a large extent sancti parentis loco.
And after that, as priests amongst us sing for the dead, SUBVENITE SANCTI DEI, ETC., right so the priests sing with high voice in their language; Behold how so worthy a man and how good a man this was, that the angels of God come for to seek him and for to bring him into Paradise.
Here there was again the same hesitation, but as if impelled by the will of the exorcist she answered R. Grandier. Grandier. D. Dic qualitatem? What is his profession? R. Sacerdos. A priest. D. Cujus ecclesiae? Of what church? R. Sancti Petri. Saint-Pierre. D. Quae persona attulit flores? Who brought the flowers? R. Diabolica. Someone sent by the devil.
And the townspeople say everywhere if there were really a she-devil, and furnished with internal horns planted in her nature, with which she drank the men, and broke them, this woman might swim a long time in this sea of writing before being landed safe and sound in hell. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
