whose Son became a refugee

and had no place to call his own;

 

look with mercy on those who today

are fleeing from danger,

homeless and hungry,

 

Bless those who work to bring them relief;

inspire generosity and compassion in all our hearts;

and guide the nations of the world towards that day

when all rejoice in your kingdom of justice and of peace;

 

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Amen
