Jesus said: “Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28).

So come, in your need and your pain,

in your anger and your powerlessness.

So come, those of us subject to immigration controls,

and those of us seeking to overthrow them.

So come, those of us who live with the bittersweet experience of exile,

and those of us who long for our true home in the Kingdom, which is to come.

So come, those of us who despair at the politics of our age,

and those of us who seek to resist them.

So come, and find not just rest for your souls,

but a channel for your rage;

not just healing for your pain,

but love in your loneliness and alienation;

not just God’s loving kindness,

but energy to resist Empire’s cruel curse.

Come.
