But
as in all things you excel:
in faith and
in speech and
in knowledge and
in all eagerness and
in the love from us in you
so excel also in this grace
Not as a command
I am saying (this),
but as testing
by means of the earnestness of others
the genuineness of your love.
For you know
the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
that because of you
he became poor
being rich
so that
by his poverty
you might become rich
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
