Lord Jesus, help us by your grace,
To banish fear from our hearts,
that we may embrace each of your children
as our own brother and sister;
To welcome migrants and refugees with joy and generosity,
while responding to their many needs;
To realize that you call all people to your holy mountain
to learn the ways of peace and justice;
To share of our abundance
as you spread a banquet before us;
To give witness to your love for all people,
as we celebrate the many gifts they bring.
We praise you and give you thanks for the family
you have called together from so many people.
We see in this human family a reflection of the divine
unity of the one Most Holy Trinity in whom we
make our prayer: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen
--United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Señor Jesús, ayúdanos con tu gracia,
a desterrar el miedo de nuestros corazones,
para que podamos abrazar a cada uno de tus hijos
como nuestro propio hermano y hermana;
a acoger a los migrantes y refugiados con alegría y generosidad,
mientras respondemos a sus muchas necesidades;
a darnos cuenta de que llamas a todas las personas a tu santo monte
para aprender los caminos de la paz y la justicia;
a compartir nuestra abundancia
mientras preparas un banquete ante nosotros;
a dar testimonio de tu amor por todas las personas,
mientras celebramos los muchos dones que traen.
Te alabamos y te damos gracias por la familia
que has convocado de entre tantas personas.
Vemos en esta familia humana un reflejo de la unidad divina
de la Santísima Trinidad en quien
hacemos nuestra oración: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.
Amén
--Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos
