Immigrant Creed

Immigrant Creed

I believe in Almighty God,
Guided His people in the exodus and in
Exile, the God of Joseph in Egypt
And Daniel in Babylon, the God
Of foreigners and the
Immigrants.

I believe in Jesus Christ, a Galileo
Displaced, who was born away from his
People and their home, who had to
Flee his land with his parents
When his life was in danger;
Who, when returning to his own country,
Had to suffer the oppression of
Tyrant Pontius Pilate, servant of a
Foreign power. He was persecuted,
Goal-Peado, tortured, and finally
Accused and sentenced to death
Unjustly. But on the third day,
This despised Jesus
Resurrected from death, no longer like
Foreigner, but to offer
A citizenship in heaven.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
Eternal immigrant of the kingdom of
God among us, who speaks
All languages, live in all
Countries, and gather all races.
I think the church is home
Safe for all foreigners
And believers who constitute it,
Who speak the same language and
They have the same purpose. I believe
That the communion of the saints is
Inseparable from the diversity of the
Santos.

I believe in God's forgiveness,
That makes us equal to all, and in
Your reconciliation, that we
Identify more than our race,
Language, or nationality.
I think in resurrection, God
He will unite us as a single village
Which everyone is different and
Similar at the same time. I believe
In Eternal life beyond this
World, where no one will be
Immigrant but all will be
Citizens of the kingdom of God
It has no end. Amen.
