Mother of Exiles, Shelter of the Homeless,
we are in need of your mercy.

We ask your blessing on your children everywhere
who are in danger today.

Bless all who suffer from injustice.
Shelter them in the warmth of your love
and safeguard them from the evil that rages around them.

Turn our eyes and hearts to their needs
and give us courage to act for their good.

We ask this, relying on your compassion
and confident in your love. Amen.
