A Collect to Abide With Jesus

Rabbi Jesus, who came from the Father to show us the ways of your kingdom, let us stay with you, being with you and learning from you, that we would come to understand how to live and become like you, full of grace and truth, through you who loved us to the end and now abides forever in the presence of the Father and Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.

‘When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.’ – John 1:38-39
