ARTWORK NARRATIVE:
As we reflect upon the difficult journey that the Holy Family faced as refugees in Egypt, help us to remember the suffering of all migrant families. Through the intercession of Mary our Mother, and St. Joseph the Worker, her spouse, we pray that all migrants may be reunited with their loved ones and find the meaningful work they seek.
Open our hearts so that we may provide hospitality for all who come in search of refuge.
Give us the courage to welcome every stranger as Christ in our midst.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
The Gospel calls us to help the most vulnerable people in our midst. Children are the most vulnerable of all. Dependent on others for food, shelter, and guidance, children often suffer the most in difficult times. In the midst of persecution, war, and other calamities, when families are forced to flee their homelands in search of safer places, parents and children can easily become separated, leaving the children alone.
At other times, unaccompanied and undocumented children and teenagers try to make their way to the United States, some fleeing violence and gang recruitment, others with the hope of reuniting with family already in the United States, or in search of work to help support their families back home.
In all cases, alone and without a parent or guardian to watch over them, migrant and refugee minors are left vulnerable to physical, psychological, and sexual abuse and exploitation. Our intention for today's Rosary is for child migrants that they may find refuge.
