The crowd replied 'You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?'

Jesus replied : ' I did one thing, and you all are amazed because of it.

Moses gave you circumcision - not that it came from Moses, but the Patriarchs

      - and you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath.
If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a whole man healthy on the Sabbath?

Do not judge by first impressions, but judge with right judgement.'

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
