A Liturgy for the pilgrim

O God, our Father,

Lord over heaven and earth,

We lift our voices to you.

May this journey of uncounted steps

Lead to a closer relationship to you

And a clearer vision of ourselves.

May this burden we carry

On our back and in our soul,

Be felt, explored, and finally released.

May those we meet along the path

Both give and receive

The hope and encouragement needed.

May the destination of our pilgrimage 

Be a place of finality

And of new beginnings.

We come to Jesus,

We who labor and are burdened down,

For he has promised rest.

We pick up his yoke,

Learning from him,

For he is gentle and lowly in heart.

We seek his rest for our soul,

For his yoke is easy,

And his burden is light.

We ask for rest.

Give us rest.⁠1
