Matthew 23:37
Jesus: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!”

Mother God,
     Forgive us when we do not listen to your voice.
           Wash us clean of our sins,
So that we may nestle under your strong wings
    and abide in your love.
                                                            Amen.
