BONUS BLOG: A Prayer of The Holy Family
The road we take
leads toward the promise
of security and stability,
for we flee not solely
in fear, nor do we make this pilgrimage
for the pursuit of untold riches.
We do not seek to spread terror,
for how dearly do we cling on to hope
in knowing that goodness abounds
wherever we shall land
as a unit, but much more
than a statistic or a painfully
vetted file, rather, a family,
peculiar and unusual like any other:
united, courageous, holy.
This prayer is inspired by Matthew 2:13-23
“Wait, what, Joe?”
From the Jesuits. You remember them.
Josh Utter, who was the Outreach and Advocacy Coordinator for the Jesuit Refugee Service/USA (JRS/USA), wrote it.
