Sanctuary
Prayer: (by
Jane Deren, PhD)
Who offered the stable for the birth of a
child?
Who offered refuge in Egypt when
the family had to flee?
Who welcomed
them there?
Who will offer sanctuary to
the immigrants in our communities
as they face roundups, as their human dignity
is ignored?
Who will welcome and protect
them?
Who will choose love and inclusion
over fear?
Who of us will recognize a
holy family,
a mother, a child?
Who of
us will remember Christ’s words:
“I was a stranger and you welcomed me;
What
you do for the least of these, you do for me.”
Amen
