Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

World Day of Migrants and Refugees

Prayer for Refugees and Exiles
Lord, no one is a stranger to you
and no one is ever
far from your loving care.
In your kindness watch over
refugees and exiles,
those separated from their loved ones,
young people who are lost,
and those who have left
or run away from home.
Bring them back safely
to the place where they long to be
and help us always
to show your kindness
to strangers and those in need.

Healing the wound of the heart - All of us are wounded by sin. The part of us which is most deeply damaged by sin is the heart. The heart is so beautiful, so innocent, but it can be betrayed, scorned, and broken. Darkness of heart is the greatest poverty of all. A heavy heart is the most painful wound of all, only love can heal the wounds of the heart.

Lord send your Holy Spirit to us to heal the wounds of our hearts so that we may produce the fruits of love.
