(Wendy Cabell, revisited December 9, 2020, feast day of the Conception by Saint Anne of the Mother God... and others (see Desert Prayer preface), including eve of feast day of Our Lady of Loreto, which is of course centered on our Lady's home)
Homing Prayer
...ye both gave vent to your sorrow
--thou O Joachim, in the wilderness,
and thou, O Anna, in thy garden,--
offering up supplication to God.
Thus the incorporeal one brought
the gladsome tidings.
--from Akathist to the Righteous
Joachim and Anna, Ikos I
Saint Anne holds
(praying at home),
Our Mary who holds
(praying at home),
Our Jesus who is
(praying at home)
in us.
Amen.
