After these things, the son of the woman who was mistress of the household got ill. His illness grew very severe, until no breath remained in him. She said to Eliyyahu, ‘What is between you and me, supernatural man? You’ve come to me to bring my waywardness to mind and put my son to death.’ He said to her, ‘Give me your son.’
He took him out of her arms and brought him up to the upper floor where he was staying, laid him on his bed and called to Yahweh: ‘Yahweh my God, the woman with whom I am residing, are you really going to deal badly with her by putting her son to death?’
He measured himself out over the child three times and called to Yahweh, ‘Yahweh my God, please may this child’s breath come back inside him!’ Yahweh listened to the voice of Eliyyahu. The child’s breath came back inside him and he came alive. Eliyyahu got the child and took him down from the upper floor into the house, and gave him to his mother. Eliyyahu said, ‘Look, your son is alive.’
The woman said to Eliyyahu, ‘Now I do acknowledge that you are a supernatural man and Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truthful.’

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
