xviii. Various English translations of the Latin in obsequio
Jesu Christi vivere are found: walking in the footsteps of Jesus
Christ, living in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, to live in
allegiance to Jesus Christ. In my explanation of this concept I
am indebted especially to Cicconetti, The Rule of Carmel, pp.
296-312.

xxvii. Ibid., 16. See also pp. 303-304, 310-11. Steggink et
al. seem to interpret the in obsequio as imitating Christ in his
desert battle with Satan. "Wearing God's armor is a concrete
application of 'living in the footsteps of Jesus,' for in 2 Cor.
10:4-5 the 'arms of warfare' and the 'walking in the footsteps of
Jesus' are closely connected." Carmelite Rule, p. 35, n. 58;
see also pp. 4, 15, nts. 14-16, p. 33, n. 53, pp. 33-34, n. 55.

of "meditating," see Cicconetti, The Rule of Carmel, pp. 309-310.
