Praying for Social Justice - Prayer for Immigrant Justice

Name:

Prayer for Immigrant Justice

Prayer:

O God,
Who welcomes all his children,
And embraces even the prodigal ones,
Help us open our hearts
And welcome all who come, searching
As our ancestors did,
For the promise of a new land, a new life.

Root out fear from our souls;
Help us form the words
“Sister” and “Brother”
As we greet the newcomers.

Let us remember that,
With your grace,
There are enough loaves and fishes
To go around
If we come together
As your family.

Give us the courage
And the compassion
To respect the rights of all
In this country of abundance
To embrace all in
The name of your love.
