God,
  we are indeed your people 
  and the sheep of your pasture.
And yet we so often feel 
  and even behave
  as if we have no shepherd at all.
When the disciples  
  come to our house 
  offering your peace,
  help us greet them 
  with warm hospitality.
As they move along 
  to bring your peace to still others 
  help us find ways to support them
  and maybe even go along.
