ORDO VIRTUTUM
The Ritual of the Virtues

1. The Virtues are greeted by the Patriarchs and Prophets.
The Soul comes in innocence, and calls to the Virtues.
The Devil seduces the Soul.
2. Led by Humility, the Virtues sing of their powers and
their solidarity against the Devil.
3. The Soul returns to the Virtues in penitence.
seeking their aid.
4. The Soul, aided by the Virtues, fights against the Devil
and overcomes his power, Victory is proclaimed.
5. The Soul, Humility and the Virtues are joined by the
Patriarchs, Prophets and other Souls imprisoned in the
flesh to sing of the joy of steadfastness, and give thanks
for God's mercy
