As it is right for me
to feel this
about all of you
because
you have me in your heart
(A partnership)
being in my chains
and in the defending
and the confirming of the Gospel
all of you are sharers with me of grace .
For God is my witness
that I long for you all
with the compassion of Christ Jesus.
Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.
Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
