Letter 62: Hormisdas to Juliana Anicia.
Hormisdas to Juliana Anicia. Having received the letter of Your Eminence, we render thanks to our God for the restoration of the catholic faith, praying that He Himself, in keeping with His own regard for religion, may deign to preserve through a long span of years for your sentiments that zeal which He has granted, so that, just as the vein of imperial blood ennobles your person, so your conscience may shine forth with the light of good merits. Wherefore, greeting you with fitting reverence and honor, we ask that you ought to persevere in the resolve in which you have begun, and to give your effort, so that the endeavor of so great a cause may come to its accomplishment, and that no seed of this evil may remain hereafter, whence in the future, under any occasion whatever, any enemy of the faith might spring up again.
