World Day of Migrants and Refugees

World Day of Migrants and Refugees

Reflection

“We are all migrants on this earth, on our way to the true homeland!” –Pope Francis

Prayer

God of all,

In recognition of World Day of Migrants and Refugees, we ask you to open our eyes to see more clearly our fundamental unity, as one human family. Remind us of our solidarity as sisters and brothers across the globe, sharing a common origin and destiny, knowing that one day we all will be gathered before your throne. Until then we pray for those who lack or have been deprived of a stable dwelling in a land they call home. Let those of us who are so blessed continue extending helping hands to them, insisting that their dignity always be upheld as we serve them in tangible ways. As advocates of the sisters and brothers in need in our communities, we pray. Amen.
