The Enchiridion 122
122 Conclusion PL 40, 289
But now there must be an end at last to this volume. And it is for yourself to judge whether you should call it a hand-book, or should use it as such. I, however, thinking that your zeal in Christ ought not to be despised, and believing and hoping all good of you in dependence on our Redeemer’s help, and loving you very much as one of the members of His body, have, to the best of my ability, written this book for you on Faith, Hope, and Love. May its value be equal to its length.
Libri conclusio. Sed sit aliquando hujus voluminis finis, quod ipse videris utrum Enchiridion vel appellare debeas, vel habere. Ego tamen cum spernenda tua in Christo studia non putarem, bona de te credens in adjutorio nostri Redemptoris ac sperans, teque in ejus membris plurimum diligens, librum ad te, sicut valui, utinam tam commodum quam prolixum, de Fide, Spe et Charitate conscripsi.
