Chapter 12Bogur.1.12
Strofa 12
The Shepherd of Sinful Souls
God actively intervenes to rescue the repentant soul from the power of the devil and brings it into His eternal kingdom.
For sinful souls, God Himself has care: He snatches them from the devil, and where He alone reigns, He takes them to Himself.1
Read the original Latin
O duszy o grzeszne sam Bog pieczą ima, Diabłu ją otyma, Gdzie to sam króluje, k sob[ie] ją przyma.
Notes
- 1 ↩Source has editorial restoration k sob[ie] (= k sobie, “to Himself”); the translation follows that standard reading of przyma as receive/take to Himself.

Never lose the rhythm again
Chosen Portion delivers your morning, midday and night office to your phone — the Hours, without the bells.
Chosen Portion is a modern Book of Hours: it turns the fixed-hour structure this collection preserves into scheduled, tappable daily prayer on your phone.
- Three daily prayer moments scheduled around your real calendar, not a monastery's
- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
