<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Often rejected God,<BR>your son tells us to move on<BR>when we are
rejected.<BR>Yet you remain with us<BR>no matter how we treat you.<BR>No matter
where we move on to,<BR>you are still with us.<BR>Help us to move
gracefully,<BR>sighting you,<BR>to where you want us<BR>through Jesus Christ our
Lord, <BR>who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, <BR>one God for
ever and ever. Amen</DIV>
