Nepsis

And now, little children,

remain in him

so that when he does appear
we will have confidence
and we will not shrink in shame
from him at his coming.

If you know that he is righteous,
you also know that everyone who does what is right
has been born from him.

O Love, O God who created me, in your love recreate me.
O Love, who redeemed me,
fill up in me whatever part of your love
has fallen into neglect within me.
O Love, O God, who first loved me,
grant that with my whole heart,
and with my whole soul,
and with my whole strength,
I may love you.

Gertrude the Great
