Mercy Day
We are all invited to join with Pope Francis and his worldwide prayer network in praying this month's intention: Countries receiving Refugees: 'That the countries which take in a great number of displaced persons and refugees may find support for their efforts which show solidarity'.
The full text of the Pope’s Video is:
Can one country alone manage the problems of forced migration?
We must move away from indifference and the fear of accepting the other. [1]
Because that other could be you. Or me…
Join me in this prayer request:
That the countries which take in a great number of displaced persons and refugees may find support for their efforts which show solidarity. [2]
