And I
-having come to you,
brothers /sisters –
came
proclaiming to you the mystery of God
not with
lofty eloquence (word)
or wisdom
For I did not judge
to know anything
(while I was) among you
except Jesus Christ,
and him crucified.
And I
in weakness
and in fear
and in much trembling
came to you.
And my word
and my message
was not
with persuasive words of wisdom
but with proof of the Spirit and power
so that your belief might not be in the wisdom of humans
but in the power of God.
Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen
St Anselm
