We go our way, and suddenly you meet us, Jesus,
and you remind us how God loves justice
and how God establishes equity.
In your eyes the native and the alien are equal;
in our eyes the glory of some bodies
may exceed that of others, but when
we die the glory of our heavenly bodies
will be the same.
Therefore, teach us to treat all people
equitably and with justice,
without regard to
appearance.
