A Prayer for Forced Migrants around the World
Have mercy on me, God most high.
In my fear and loneliness, be my refuge.
Far from my homeland, I feel lost.
My heart is stirred by thoughts
of the family I left behind.
O God, hear their cries and come
to their help!
Calm the storms of anxiety and doubt
raging within me.
Go before me and guide my steps among
a people I do not know.
May their kindness and compassion
assure me that You are there
to welcome me.
Prayer developed by Cardinal Luis Tagle,
President of Caritas Internationalis
