Province Pilgrimage to Poland
Day 7 Returning
Today we visited the old city of Warsaw before travelling to the Airport to come home
Lord, open our lips.
And we shall declare your praise.
Reflection:
Akiva walked alongside the Temple Mount, and saw the jackals playing among the ruins. And he sensed a divine plan of darkness and light, of a land to be restored, of a people to be returned to God. Our survivors belong to the company of Akiva. We can honour and revere them. We are their students. How can we feel what they feel? How can we know what they know? All we can do is to take their silence. And we can take their words. And interweave past and present, present and future. And we can pray. And hope.
Our soul is waiting for God,
Our help and our shield.
In the Creator our hearts find joy.
We trust in God's holy name.
May your faithful love be upon us,
O God, As we place all our hope in you. (Psalm 33)
Return us, O Lord, to our task and to our people.
Renew our days as of old, bring back the time of creation.
Return us to our neighbours,
to those who have suffered with us,
to those who still live in darkness,
to those who need our help.
Return us,
and renew us,
Amen.
