Jesus Christ, my dear and gracious Lord, you have shown a love greater than that of any man [2] and which no one can equal, for you in no way deserved to die, yet you laid down your dear life for those who served you and sinned against you. [6] You prayed for those who were killing you [7] that you might make them just men and your brothers and restore them to your merciful Father and to yourself.[9] Lord, who showed such love to your enemies, you have also enjoined the same love upon your friends.[11] —Prayers and Meditations; AD 1070-1080+ [2] John 15:13 [6] 1 John 3:16 [7] Luke 23:34 [9] Romans 5:10 [9] 2 Corinthians 5:18 [11] John 15:12, 17
