God, Almighty Father,
we are your pilgrim Church
journeying towards the Kingdom of 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 refugee and 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,

Who lives and reigns forever and ever.
Amen.
