Christian Aid Lenten Pilgrimage Day 3

O Lord
We dash past souvenir shops
and idle tradesmen,
push through crowds of people,
and rush ahead of local Christians,
to see where you were born.
But you are not there.
For you are in the souvenir shops,
with the tradesmen,
among the crowds,
alongside the citizens,
who we, in our eagerness
to meet you
rushed past,
without noticing.
