‘…My Victim, Which I Slay for You…’

From the Armadio degli Argenti of Blessed John of Fiesole, OP (Fra Angelico), c. 1450

‘Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood.’

Ezekiel 39:17

Dear Korrektiv Konsumers, I humbly ask that you go forth and buy or steal this book

And then write all kinds of nice things about it in the reviews… A beer in it for you! OK, fine! The cocktail of your choice and grilled steak!

It was fantastic.

The casuist’s glass gets a glug.
See? A sip! he says – then takes a chug.

That one mustn’t get tight!
