This is a place for the faithful to honor the journey of the migrant and the refugee. Together, we seek to understand the global realities that our migrant brothers and sisters face. Together, we respond to the call of Jesus our Lord and Savior to welcome the stranger. A Prayer for Refugees Dear Lord Jesus, your family on earth knew the life of refugees when they fled to Egypt. Bless all who seek refuge on this earth. Meet their needs for safety and for home. Move the hearts of your people to show them welcome. Cause wars to cease and bring justice to the nations that no one will need to flee again. In your great mercy, Lord hear our prayer. Amen. A Prayer for Migrant Children Dear heavenly Father, tenderly bless all vulnerable children who are journeying alone in this world. Comfort orphaned children whose parents have been taken from them by violence. Provide for refugee children who are far from home and don’t know where their families may be. Guide migrant children who take dangerous journeys to find family or opportunity. Rescue trafficked children whose freedom and innocence have been betrayed. Protect all children who need your care, bringing them justice, safety and home. In Jesus’ name, amen. LOOKING FOR MORE PRAYERS FOR IMMIGRANTS?
