A Prayer in Solidarity

(Adapted from Catholic Relief Services)
 
Good Shepherd,
 
Many in our world walk through a darkness unimaginable, a valley of exploitation and danger assaulting their human dignity. As you have walked with me through dark shadows, give me the courage to walk with them in solidarity.
 
With those trafficked for sexual exploitation, with those children conscripted into a conflict not of their making, with those trafficked for forced labor, with those who have been separated in transit from their families, 
let me walk in solidarity with them.
 
And with refugees, migrants and trafficking victims moving through this world seeking wholeness, let me walk in solidarity with them.
 
In the midst of fear and uncertainty, you are there with us.  We don’t walk alone, but within the compassion you have for the human race.  In walking with them, we are walking with you. In your love, help us on the journey.
 
Amen.
