Lord our God,
something is stirring in your Church,
as if Moses’ bush were secretly on fire again,
calling us to new exoduses after so many deserts.
Help us to understand that we are not walking alone,
that others elsewhere are reaching out to us
to pave the way for peace, for the salvation of the world, for compassion.
Give us the strength to move forward together, in deep water
and recognise your footsteps, you, the God of our faith,
Father of Jesus Christ.
