Gracious and Loving God

Open our hearts to Your love

Inspire us to protect today’s José, María and baby Jesús

As you sent protectors to keep Your own son safe from a government that intended to harm him

Protectors such as

- the Magi

- the Egyptians

- unnamed others on the journey

May we show such hospitality and love of neighbor

And grant us courage to call out our own government as it intends to harm those who have

come to this country to seek safety and refuge

Amen

May it be so
