Prayer for National Migration Week:⁠
Loving Father,⁠
We thank you for the gift of children⁠
And for the joy and love that they bring into our lives.⁠
Protect with your fatherly care all children who face hardship.⁠
In particular, we pray for unaccompanied migrant children who are alone,⁠
For migrant children separated from parents who have been placed in detention,⁠
For those who have lost loved ones due to violence,⁠
And for those who are trapped in situations of exploitation.⁠
Open all of our hearts to immigrant and refugee children in need. Show us how we can protect and comfort them.⁠
Give us the wisdom to know how we can help.⁠
Give us courage to defend them⁠
against those who would harm them.⁠
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

People from around the diocese who have lost family members or friends to the coronavirus gathered at @stfrancisxaviersartell Aug. 25 for a Mass of Remembrance with Bishop Donald Kettler.

“The greatest commandment is to love God with all that we are and to love our neighbor as ourselves,” Bishop Kettler said during his homily. “Keeping this great commandment has challenged us and aided us as we lived with the coronavirus, and it calls us tonight to pray for all those we remember and pray for here tonight.”

Before the Mass people were invited to submit the names of loved ones who have died. The names were entered in the Book of Remembrance, which was located near the altar during the Mass.
