Paul and Timothy
– slaves of Christ Jesus
to all the ‘holy ones’ in Christ Jesus,
who are in Philippi
including the church leaders and the deacons:
Grace to you all
and peace
from God, our Father,
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
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
