The one coming from above is over all.
The one from the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things.
The one coming from heaven is over all.
The one who has seen and heard bears witness yet no-one receives his testimony.

The one who receives his testimony has certified this, that God is true.
For the one sent by God speaks his words, for he (God) gives the Spirit without limit.

The Father loves the Son and has placed all things into his hands.

The one who believes in the Son has resurrection life.
The one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God stays on him.

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
