The Letter, , takes its title from the words of Our Lord as recorded in the Holy Gospel according to St. John, “Greater love than this no People’s Mass Music man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends, (Jn 15:13)”. The Letter creates a new category – a Listen and Learn facti species in technical language – called, oblatio vitae, and distinguishes it from the facti species of martyrdom, by five criteria: a) The free and voluntary offering of one’s life, and heroic acceptance propter caritatem of a certain and soon-to-come death; b) A nexus – i.e. close relation – between the offering of one’s life and the premature death of the one who offers it; c) The exercise, at least in ordinary degree, of the Christian virtues before the subject’s offering of his or her life and, http://bit.ly/2tyr9wA afterward, perseverance in those virtues unto death; d) The existence of fama sanctitatis – i.e. the reputation for holiness – on the part of the subject, and of signs [in confir- Penitential Act mation thereof], at least after death; Glory to God e) The necessity, for beatification, of a miracle, one that occurred after the death of the Servant of God, and by said Gospel Acclamation Servant’s intercession.
