So above all, 
my sister /brother,
do not swear by
heaven
or earth
or by some other oath.

Let your yes
be yes
and your no,
no
so that you may not fall under judgement.

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
