And having left the temple precincts, one of his disciples said to him:
‘Teacher, look – what wonderful stones and buildings.’
And Jesus said to him:
‘Do you see these great buildings?
There certainly will not be one stone here left on another, which will not be thrown down.’
O thou, who art the light of the minds that know thee,
the life of the souls that love thee,
and the strength of the wills that serve thee;
help us so to know thee that we may truly love thee;
so to love thee that we may fully serve thee,
whom to serve is perfect freedom.
Amen
