My offenses truly I know them;
 
my sin is always before me.
 
Against you, you alone, have I sinned;
 
what is evil in your sight I have done.
 
 
Indeed you love truth in the heart;
 
then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.
 
O purify me, then I shall be clean;
 
O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow.
 
 
A pure heart create for me, O God,
 
put a steadfast spirit within me.
 
Do not cast me away from your presence,
 
nor deprive me of your holy spirit.

Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. (…) Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.
