So Jesus spoke again : ‘Truly, truly I tell you that I am the gate for the sheep.
All who came before me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them.
I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved; they will come in and go out freely and will find pasture.
The thief only comes to steal and slaughter and destroy.
I have come so that they might have life, and life to the full.
O Lord Jesus Christ,
stay beside me to defend me,
within me to guide me,
before me to lead me,
and above me to bless me,
that with you and in you,
I may live, and move and have my being,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
