Una oración por nuestro país Sabemos, Señor, que tú mismo eres un migrante. Experimentaste las pruebas del refugiado, habiendo huido como un niño con tus padres,

José y María, a Egipto. Conocemos su amor especial por aquellos que no tienen otra posesión sino uno con el otro, y a ti. Mueva

nuestros corazones, Señor y los corazones de nuestros líderes para amarlos como lo haces, amarlos con tu amor, que sea tu amor por

los migrantes en la entrada de nuestro país.

A Prayer for Our Country We know, Lord that you yourself are a migrant. You experienced the trials of the refugee, having fled as a child with your parents, Joseph and Mary, to Egypt. We know your special love for those

with no other possession but one another, and you. Move our hearts, Lord, and the hearts of our leaders to love them as you do, to love them with your love, to be your love for migrants at the door-

way of our country.
