For people like Martin, for displaced people, immigrants and refugees

[RCIAGraduate]

Not actively practicing and this is political but please use this thread for people like Martin and others like the migrants in the detention centers, refugees and peoples displaced everywhere and other people like them. Pray they find safety and that their needs are met, for their well-being too and for them to have a happy resolution. Pray they are shown compassion and given justice, that they are taken care of and that people’s hearts are open to them.

Prayer for Migrants and Refugees
From the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops

Lord Jesus, when you multiplied the loaves and fishes,
you provided more than food for the body. You offered us
the gift of yourself, the gift which satisfies every hunger
and quenches every thirst!

Your disciples were filled with fear and doubt, but you
poured out your love and compassion on the migrant
crowd, welcoming them as brothers and sisters.

Lord Jesus, today you call us to welcome the members
of God’s family who come to our land to escape oppression,
poverty, persecution, violence, and war. Like your disciples,
we too are filled with fear and doubt and even suspicion.
We build barriers in our hearts and in our minds.

Lord Jesus, help us by your grace,

To banish fear from our hearts, that we may embrace each
of your children as our own brother and sister;

To welcome migrants and refugees with joy and generosity,
while responding to their many needs;

To realize that you call all people to your holy mountain
to learn the ways of peace and justice;

To share of our abundance as you spread a banquet before us;

To give witness to your love for all people, as we celebrate
the many gifts they bring.

We praise you and give you thanks for the family you have
called together from so many people. We see in this human
family a reflection of the divine unity of the one Most Holy
Trinity in whom we make our prayer: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. Amen.

I pray that God uses this unique situation for His glory. May He grant freedom to those who are suffering in detention centres, may He grant housing and other accommodations to those who have moved from different countries. May He make their experience with the immigration department a safe and easy one. Amen.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (Martin and displaced people, immigrants and refugees, and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.
