St Francis of Assisi Parish in Shefford
Lord Jesus, I boldly proclaim you as God. You took upon yourself our human nature – you breathed our air, you ate our food and drank our water; you wept you laughed, you suffered and you died. But in rising you won for us eternal life. Your name be worshipped and adored.
