Following are suggestions for all of us to consider during the week:
You can keep refugees and asylum seekers in your prayers that they may receive the help and support they need after leaving their homes and escaping from regimes where crime and corruption abound.
You can pray for our Government that they may have compassion for all refugees and asylum seekers and the horrific impact that Australia’s policies have on many people.
You can read the Catholic Voice blog – Anguish that lies behind the smile of this refugee –
