Advent Prayer Witness for Immigrants
The God of justice stands with the poor, the immigrants and the vulnerable. We choose hope and unity as we defend the rights of those forced to migrate to seek safety, protection and life outside of their home countries. One of the hopeful actions we can take is to pray for our immigrant siblings. Click here to access a prayer to use during Advent.
