1. In passione, quae nobis hodie recitata est, fratres mei, euidenter ostenditur iudex ferox, tortor cruentus, martyr inuictus.
'In the passion which has been read to us today, my brothers, we are clearly shown a ferocious judge, a bloodthirsty torturer, an unvanquished martyr.'
In what follows Augustine constantly refers to the story of Vincent's martyrdom and emphasises that his unnatural endurance during the torments resulted from the power of Christ which dwelt in him.
Text: Patrologia Latina 38,1255. Translation: Hill 1994, 29 (slightly changed). Summary: Robert Wiśniewski.
