Jesus Christ the
Righteous,
you have tested us,
sending us into the world
even as God sent you.
We have failed the test,
over and over we fail
it, though all you ask
is that we love as you
loved.
The thing is too
difficult,
no one could do it
except one who dwells with God.
Praise God, you are our
Advocate.
