Prayer For Migration Week

Loving Father

Remember that the Holy Family fled

violence and lived for a time as refugees,

we ask that you protect all refugee families

fleeing persecution, and provide them a

place of safety and comfort.

For children who are making perilous journeys,

often alone and without the

protection of loved ones

we ask that you reunite them with their families and protect them from violence on the journey.

For all migrants,

that they not feel compelled to migrate

but have opportunities in their homeland

where they can thrive and live fully human lives.

Open our hearts

so that we may provide hospitality

for those who come in search of refuge.

Through your Son, Jesus Christ,

who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, forever and ever.

Amen
