About Cum hora undecima
Cum hora undecima is a papal bull issued by Pope Gregory IX in February 1235 and reissued and elaborated repeatedly during the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries. It contained basic instructions for missionaries and its opening lines reflected the apocalyptic tradition of the Franciscans:Since the eleventh hour has come in the day given to mankind...it is necessary that spiritual men [possessing] purity of life and the gift of intelligence should go forth with John [the Baptist] again to all men and all peoples of every tongue and in every kingdom to prophesy because, according to the prophet Isaias, the salvation of the remnant of Israel will not occur until, as St. Paul says, the plenitudo gentium enters first [into the kingdom of heaven].
