Almighty God, we say "YES" to your invitation,
to welcome the stranger, traveller and refugee.
To feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty who come to our door.
To clothe the naked who suffer with cold.
To visit the sick in the hospitals and in their homes.
To care for prisoners, for people caught up in loneliness and despair.

In this way, as a community and as individuals,
we shall live out our baptismal call to bring others to Christ,
by living out the good news your Son proclaimed,
a message of love and compassion for all people.

We ask that your wisdom touch our every word and deed.
Amen.
