Prayer for Women Refugees

On the road, seeking safe shelter;
In makeshift tents, feeding children;
In resettlement centers, rebuilding community;
In strange neighborhoods, looking for a compassionate face:
Long lines of women refugees,
Thousands, millions, all searching for that grace called home.

Grant them healing and wholeness, God of the vulnerable.
As you cherished Mary, cherish these women.

Grant us eyes to see them and the will to reach out,
So they may know they are not forgotten
But are welcomed in the global community,
Sisters to us all.
