On the second day of refugee week we continue to remember those who have had to flee their homes in our prayers:

Jesus, friend and brother,

You know what it is like to be hungry and thirsty.

You know the plight of the stranger who is made unwelcome.

You know the suffering of all who have lost everything.

We pray that by welcoming the asylum seeker we may show love for our neighbour and draw closer to you. Amen.
