CAFOD

Terror is at our heels.
Anxiety, uncertainty, vulnerability
Lie ahead.
We have fled to freedom.
And yet...
Our hearts are aching.

Response: Cover us with your wings, O Lord.

Far from home.
Longing for the familiar.
A touch, a smile, a hug, a kind word.
Yearning to return.
And yet...
We must go forwards.

Response: Cover us with your wings, O Lord.

Memories and dreams
Grief and hope
Death and new life
What might have been
What could be,
And yet...
Throughout
Remains
Your constant love.

Response: Cover us with your wings, O Lord.
