“Rabbi, where are you staying?”
I would welcome the poor
and honor them.
I would welcome the sick
in the presence of angels
and ask God to bless and
embrace us all.
Come and see.
“Rabbi, where are you staying?”
Seeing a stranger approach,
I would put food in the eating place,
drink in the drinking place,
music in the listening place,
and look with joy for the blessing of God,
who often comes to my home
in the blessing of a stranger.
Come and see.
—Adapted from John 1 and Prayers of St. Brigid
