Best Answer

This is a quote from the 16th verse of the hymn Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) possibly the worlds third most well known hymn in Gregorian chant after the forms of the Agnus Dei and Kyrie. It was featured in boondocks saints both to add legitimacy that they were on a quest from God and of the gun dealer as IRA as this quote from the Hymn is engrained Irish Catholic Culture and superstition. Also it is one of the most quoted lines of Dies Irae as it is imploring Gods forgiveness and is among the more hope-filled in the poem.

The hymn like many of its time is a prayer written to be sung, (as most of the mass was sung in the period of authorship) and is strongly attributed to the Franciscan order.

What does Theseus and the Minotaur teach us?

It wasn't meant to teach us anything. Greek myths didn't have morals built into them. The message of that story was one of Athens' superiority over Crete. The Minoans were depicted as wicked, lustful and evil, while the Athenians as noble, helpful, and heroic. I think that's clear enough.

What is some Romeo and Juliet dialog?

R: If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: my lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. J: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, that mannerly devotion shows in this. For saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch, and hand to hand is holy palmer's kiss. R: Have not saints lips? And holy palmers too? J: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. R: O, then, dear saint let lips do what hands do: they pray, grant you, lest faith turn to despair. J: Saints do not move, though grant for prayer's sake. R: Then move not while my prayer's effect I take.
