Oh, Lord, tonight I am praying that in Your mercy You will welcome into eternal rest and peace the souls of those who were found dead in a truck in San Antonio and who were killed in Melilla and comfort their families and their communities. O Lord who left your native land as an infant under the cover of darkness as your family searched for safety, be present with those who are forced to flee their homelands, bless the work of those who comfort and protect them, and arouse in us a love of our neighbors through justice and solidarity. Where there is despair among those who have been forced to migrate appear to them as you appeared to those men on the road to Emmaus and fill all of us with the joys of Your justice and salvation. O, Lord, hear my prayer and show your mercy!
