GreetingCome, workers of evil and seekers for truth.Come, all who are corrupt and all faithful ones.Sometimes we say, “There is no God”;for God seems absent and unfeeling.Come apart for a time to rest and reflect.Bring the hopes that survive God’s silences.Through Christ, we are no longer strangersWho call on God in doubt and terror.Come from far and near, from trust and fears, thatyou may be a dwelling place for the Spirit.We are full citizens with the saints of God,members of God’s own household.
