Nepsis

For the love of Christ controls us,
having concluded this:
that one died for all,
therefore all have died.
And he died for all,
so that ones who live
no longer live for themselves
but for the one
who died for them
and was raised.

So then from now
we do not think of anyone
according to the flesh.
Even if we have known according to the flesh, Christ
yet we no longer know him (that way).
So then if someone (is) in Christ
– new creation.
The old things have gone away,
behold the new things have come

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
