And the Lord worked=

With them=and confirmed his word

By the signs=that ACCOMPANIED IT”                                                                                    Mark 16:19-20

“FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE=

As I follow=THE EXAMPLE=Of Christ’s”                                                                              1 Corinthians 11:1

 

And that my FRIENDS=is exactly

What we should be doing=

FOLLOWING Jesus’ example OF LOVE

 

And the LOVE=of these GREAT MEN

Who came after him

The 12 apostles=Saint Paul=and

ALL the Saints=RECOGNIZED=and unrecognized

The light of the world=

WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME
