What did homeless guy say to father Marcus


I couldn't quite catch it and I played it over and over again.
Can someone help with this.

reply

He spoke Latin. It was the same phrase the demon said to him when he was younger at the beginning of the episode

reply

Lupus in fabulum means literally ' the wolf in the tale (or story).' Metaphorically, the translation is ' the person we are talking about is appearing... be careful.'

Venit enim ad me is tougher. Most I can figure is 'he's coming to (for) me.'

Anybody else able to help out?

Latin - Lupus in fabula, venit enim ad me.

Translated to modern day idiom - Speak of the devil and he will appear.
