Christus nostra caro est, mihi solvitur et mihi surgit.Solvor morte mea, Christi virtute resurgo;cum moritur Christus, cum flebiliter tumulatur,me video: e tumulo cum jam remeabilis adstat,cerno Deum.2. Nosco meum in Christo corpus resurgere; quid medesperare jubes? veniam, quibus ille revenitcalcata de morte viis; quod credimus hoc est.3. Pellite corde metum, mea membra, et credite vosmetcum Christo reditura Deo; nam vos gerit ille,et secum revocat; morbos ridete minaces;inflictos casus contemnite; tetra sepulcradespicite; exsurgens quo Christus provocat, ite.English Translation:1. Christ is of our flesh; for me His death, for me His Resurrection. If in death I am dissolved, through the power of Christ I shall rise again. When Christ suffers death, when amid tears He is laid in the tomb, I behold myself; and, when restored from the tomb He again stands before me, I gaze upon God. 2. I know that in Christ my body shall arise; why bid me, then, despair? For I shall go by that same path whereby my Lord returned, death trodden neath His feet; this is my creed. 3. Then banish, my limbs, all terror; and believe that with Christ our God you shall again return; for it is He that sustains you; He will call you to join Him. Laugh at the threats of sickness, scorn the blows of fate; despise the horrors of the tomb, and follow where the risen Christ summons. -- Prudentius (348 - after 405 AD), selections from his APOTHEOSIS.
