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 asylum seekers,
Those separated from their loved ones,
Those who are lost, and those who have been exiled from their homes.
Bring them safely to the place where they long to be,
And help us always to show your kindness to strangers and those in need.

Adapated from the Opening Prayer of the Mass for Refugees and Exiles.
