God, Almighty Father 
  We are your pilgrim Church 
journeying towards the Kingdom of heaven. 
  We live in our homeland,  
  but as if we were foreigners. 
  Every foreign place is our home,  
  yet every native land is foreign to us. 
  Though we live on earth,  
  our true citizenship is in heaven. 
  Do not let us become possessive  
  of the portion of the world  
  you have given us as a temporary home. 
  Help us to keep walking, together  
  with our migrant brothers and sisters, 
  toward the eternal dwelling  
  you have prepared for us. 
  Open our eyes and our hearts  
  so that every encounter with those in need  
  becomes an encounter with Jesus,  
  your Son and our Lord. 
  Amen. 
   
  (Pope Francis, 24 May 2024,  
  Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Help of Christians.)
