Lord, so many people in our world have been displaced
and are seeking sanctuary.
We ask that you bless all migrants and refugees.
They often take hazardous journeys to escape conflict,
oppression, famine and poverty.
We remember the millions of people presently displaced
by the war in Ukraine and give thanks for those countries
who are providing a welcome for them.
May all refugees find a similar welcome.
Amen.
— By a Columban Missionary
