Be a Jesus to Me

“Therefore, O Jesus, for Thine own sake be a Jesus to me. Thou who didst create, suffer me not to perish; Thou who didst redeem me, condemn me not; Thou who didst make me by Thy goodness, suffer not the work of Thy hands to perish by my own wickedness…Acknowledge in Thy goodness what is Thine own in me; and what is not Thine own, wipe off from me.”

\ Anselm
