Sunday 20th January 2008

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

World Day of Migrants and Refugees

Prayer for Refugees and Exiles
Lord, no one is a stranger to you
and no one is ever
far from your loving care.
In your kindness watch over
refugees and exiles,
those separated from their loved ones,
young people who are lost,
and those who have left
or run away from home.
Bring them back safely
to the place where they long to be
and help us always
to show your kindness
to strangers and those in need.
