But if I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin.
Now they do not have an excuse with regard to their sin.
The one who hates me hates my Father too.

If I had not done the works which I did amongst them, which no-one else did, they would not have sin.
Now they have seen [my works] and they have hated me and my Father.

But this happened in order that the word written in their law might be fulfilled: ‘They hated me without cause.’ 

When the ‘advocate’ comes –
whom I will send  to you from the Father
the Spirit of truth,
who comes from the Father,
– he will bear witness about me.

And you, bear witness! -because you have been with me from the beginning.

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
