Ego Vos Elegi

Non vos me elegistis sed EGO VOS ELEGI et posui vos ut eatis et fructum adferatis et fructus vester maneat ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo det vobis

John 15:16

You have not chosen Me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.

Lux et Tenebris

And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it.
et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non conprehenderunt...

...erat lux vera quae inluminat omnem hominem venientem in mundum...
That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
