Loving Father, in your infinite compassion, we
Seek your divine protection for refugee children who are often alone and afraid. Provide solace to those who have been witnesses to violence and destruction, who have lost parents, family, friends, homes, and
all they cherish due to war or persecution.
Comfort them in their sorrow, and bring help
in their time of need. Show them mercy to
unaccompanied migrant children, too,Lord.
Reunite them with their families and loved ones. Guide those children who are strangers
In a foreign land to a place of peace and safety.
Comfort them in their sorrow, and bring help in their time of need. Show us how we might reach out to these precious and vulnerable
Children. Open our hearts to migrant and refugee children in there time of need, so that
we might see in them your own migrant child.
Give us courage to stand up in their defense against those who would do them harm. For
this we pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
