June 26 is World Refugee Sunday.
We offer this prayer for the more than 20 million refugees in our world today:
O Lord, open our eyes that we may see the needs of refugees; open our ears that we may hear people’s cries for justice; open our hearts that we may assist sojourners near and far. Show us where love, hope and faith are needed. Use us as ministers of your healing. Let us not be afraid to protect the weak because of the anger of the strong, or to defend the poor because of the power of the rich. Sustain us so that in these coming days we may be able to do some work of peace for you. We ask these things in your blessed name. Amen.
