Oh my Lord and Father:
Clare has tried so hard to find John, who has been lost, cold, hungry and maybe even sick or a victim of the violence so many here have alluded to. Please protect him as you protected your People as they were fleeing the Egyptians, as You protected your people when you called forth Judith and Esther. Please Encamp about him and “Jimmy” as you encamped about your people when they were led by Gideon and again by the Maccabees. Please be the Divine Outrider the muggers see that so many “unsober” eyes have seen at just the right moment, and send your Angels to stand guard over him as he sleeps, so that no harm may come to him.
And, Please my Lord, Send your Angels to guide him to shelter, but not just for a night or a week, but for long enough to get the treatment he needs to recoup the years lost to the Locusts, the Cutter, the Hopper and the Destroyer, so that all will know that you are the Lord, and that the Lord still saves with a Mighty Hand and an Outstretched Arm. As you once led your People to safety with Fire by Night and smoke by day, please lead John to a family or a community with a smile, a word or even a cab-ride, so that he and “Jimmy” will be safe.
I ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord God and Savior, Who lives and Reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, Now and forever.
AMEN.
