If someone sees their brother or sister committing a sin that does not result in death, they will ask
      and he will give life to them.

                      to those sinning not to death.

(There is a sin to death, I am not saying that they should ask about that.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin which is not to death)

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

I have written these things
– to you all so that you may know that you have eternal life, 
– to those who believe in the name of the Son of God. 

And this is the confidence which we have with him,
        because whenever we ask according to his will, he hears us. 

And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask,
we know that we have the requests we have requested from him.

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)

The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in them,
(the one who does not believe in God has made him a liar
because they have not believed in the testimony
which God has testified about his Son.) 

And this is the testimony,
that God has given eternal life to us,
and this life is in his Son.
The one who has the Son has life.
The one who does not have the Son
does not have life. 

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy,
For your mercy and for your truth’s sake. Amen

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been born of God,
and everyone who loves the parent loves their child. 

By this we know that we love the children of God, 
that we love God and we keep his commands. 

For this is  the love of God,
that we keep his commands,
and his commands are not burdensome. 

Because everyone who has been  born of God conquers the world.
And this is the victory which has conquered the world – our faith.
And who is conquering the world
except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

There is no fear in love,
but perfect love throws out fear,
because fear has [to do] punishment,
but the one who fears is not made perfect in love.

We love, because he first loved us.

If someone says that they love God
and hate their brother or sister,
they are a liar.

For the one who does not love their sister or brother whom they see,
cannot love God whom they do not see.

And we have this command from him:
the one who loves God also loves his brother or sister.

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art –
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

God is love, 
and the one who continues to remain in love 
continues to remain in God, 
and God continues to remain in them. 

This [the above] is how love is completed with us
–  so that we might have confidence on the day of judgement,
[and this is] because just as he is, we are, in this world.

Lord, you have given me so much,
I ask for one more thing –
a grateful heart.

George Herbert

By this we know that we remain in him, and h e is us,
that he has given a portion of his Spirit to us. 

And we have seen and bear witness 
that the Father has sent his son as saviour of the world. 

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God
– God remains in them and they in God.

And we know and have believed the love which God has in us. 

Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me
Be thou a smooth path below me
Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me
Today – tonight -forever
Amen.

St Columba

Beloved,
if God has so loved us,
then we ought to love one another. 
No-one has ever seen God…
if we love one another,
then God lives in us,
and his love is made perfect in us.

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

Beloved, let us love one another,
because love is from God,
and everyone who loves has been born from God,
and they know God.  

The one who does not love,
does not know God,
because God is love. 

By this the love of God has been revealed in us,
that God has sent his ‘one of a kind’ son into the world,
so that we might live through him. 
In this is love, not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Teach us, good Lord,
to serve thee as thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do thy will,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

St Ignatius
