Please pray for the homeless everywhere, that they might find adequate shelter and protection from the elements, that they may get the social and family support they need, that they may be linked with the appropriate services in their area to get off the street and find appropriate housing, employment and medical care, and that they might have the support of faith in God.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

*O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen*
 
Prayer for the Cold and Homeless

God of compassion,
your love for humanity was revealed in Jesus,
whose earthly life began in the poverty of a stable
and ended in the pain and isolation of the cross:
we hold before you those who are homeless and cold
especially in this bitter weather.
Draw near and comfort them in spirit
and bless those who work to provide them
with shelter, food, and friendship.

We ask this in Jesus’ name.

Amen.

–– Church of England

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

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
now and forever. Amen
 
Prayer for the Homeless in Winter

O God our Father, your Son lived without a place to lay his head. The inn was crowded and he was born in a barn. Now many of your children live without even a barn over their heads. We lament our hard-heartedness and a cruel system that leaves them stranded on sidewalks and under bridges. We pray for them your sustenance and warm presence. We pray for their relief from raw faces, and pinched fingers and toes. We pray for an increased abundance of heated places they may go for shelter. And we pray in thanksgiving for our own gift of heat and shelter. In our fullness and riches, give us an awareness of the chilly suffering of your homeless children. Save us from frozen hearts and make us a people ready and able to share of our warmth. These things we lift up in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who invite all people out of the cold and into the fire of everlasting fellowship. 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.
