Pilgrim on earth, thy home is heaven; stranger, thou art the guest of God.
—Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 254

As the river, after digging its banks,
then stays in its place, so do you 
always stay in your place in your one true home.

Founded on your strong desire
to love God first and be His beloved,
your home is always where God is.

Humbly holding to God’s will
keeps you safe here, far from fear,
where you receive the constant stream 
of His angels of peace.

For that sacred place, 
usher out all untoward thoughts; 
gladly welcome fresh, new views 
of God’s pure love, right here and now,
   for you and all!

—Danièle Onolfo
