John 1:40-42


Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter,
was one of the two disciples
who had heard from John
and followed him.
Firstly he found his own brother Simon
and said to him:
We have found the Messiah
(which is translated the Anointed One).
He led him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said:
“You are Simon, the son of John,
you will be called Cephas,
(which is translated Peter).

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
