PRAYER FOR WORLD DAY OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES – 29TH SEPTEMBER 2024


‘God, Almighty Father, we are your pilgrim Church journeying towards the Kingdom of heaven. We live in our homeland, but as if we were foreigners. Every foreign place is our home, yet every native land is foreign to us. Though we live on earth, our true citizenship is in heaven. Do not let us become possessive of the portion of the world you have given us as a temporary home. Help us to keep walking, together with our migrant brothers and sisters, toward the eternal dwelling you have prepared for us. Open our eyes and our hearts so that every encounter with those in need becomes an encounter with Jesus, your Son and our Lord. Amen’.


Pope Francis

 

“That is my prayer. I ask Jesus to draw me to the flames of his love, to unite me so closely to him that he lives and acts in me. I feel that the more the fire of love burns within my heart, the more I shall say ‘Draw me’: the more also the souls who will approach me, the more these souls will run swiftly in the odour of the ointments of their Beloved, for a soul that is burning with love cannot remain inactive”.


St Therese of Lisieux


“It is confidence and nothing but confidence that must lead us to Love”


St Therese of Lisieux


“Jesus does not demand great actions from us, but simply surrender and gratitude”


St Therese of Lisieux
