Lord God Almighty, be gracious to us and grant us a home, that we would not languish in exile or abandonment but be received into the company of those who love us for who we are as you do, through Jesus our redeemer, who loved us to the end and now lives in your presence with the Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.
‘See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labor together; a great company, they shall return here.’ – Jer. 31:8
