| **Together on the Journey** ***A Prayer for Migrants and Refugees*** | [center]**Juntos en el Camino** ***Oración para Migrantes y Refugiados *** [/center] |
| Dear Jesus, our journey through life is long and hard. We cannot make this trip alone; we must walk together on the journey. You promised to send us a helper, your Spirit. Help us to see your Spirit in those you send to journey with us. In the refugee family, seeking safety from violence, Let us see your Spirit. In the migrant worker, bringing food to our tables, Let us see your Spirit. In the asylum-seeker, seeking justice for himself and his family, Let us see your Spirit. In the unaccompanied child, traveling in a dangerous world, Let us see your Spirit. Teach us to recognize that as we walk with each other, You are present. Teach us to welcome not only the strangers in our midst but the gifts they bring as well: the invitation to conversion, communion, and solidarity. This is the help you have sent: we are not alone. We are together on the journey, and for this we give you thanks. Amen. [url="http://www.usccb.org/mrs/nmw/prayer2004.shtml"]http://www.usccb.org/mrs/nmw/prayer2004.shtml[/url] | Querido Jesús, nuestro viaje por la vida es largo y duro. No podemos hacer este recorrido solos; debemos caminar juntos durante el viaje. Prometiste enviarnos un ayudante, tu EspÃÂritu. Ayúdanos a ver tu EspÃÂritu en los que envÃÂas a viajar con nosotros. En la familia refugiada, que busca seguridad ante la violencia, Déjanos ver tu EspÃÂritu. En el trabajador migrante, que trae alimento a nuestras mesas, Déjanos ver tu EspÃÂritu En el solicitante de asilo, que busca justicia para sày su familia, Déjanos ver tu EspÃÂritu En el niño sin compañÃÂa, que viaja solo en un mundo peligroso, Déjanos ver tu EspÃÂritu Enséñanos a reconocer que cuando caminamos juntos, Tú estás presente. Enséñanos a acoger no sólo al forastero entre nosotros sino también los dones que nos trae: las invitaciones a la conversión, la comunión y la solidaridad. Pues esta es la ayuda que has enviado: no estamos solos. Estamos juntos en el camino, y por esto te damos las gracias. Amén. |

Stigmata,
Do everyone a favor and post items like the above as text, linking it back to the original post. This is unreadable to most folks due to having to horizontal scroll every sentence.
