The boat of injustice

Vulnerable God,

as we contemplate the wonder of your birth,

stir in us the desire to cradle those who have nowhere to lay their head,

that together we may rock the boat of injustice.

Give us grace to offer our hands to those who reach out

that with faltering steps we may find a way home

and kindle our hearts to embrace the rejected and dispossessed

and so meet you face to face.

We ask this in your name, Amen.

Prayer: Annabel Shilson-Thomas
