Prayer
Prayer for Immigrants Who Died Trying to Reach the United States
In your mercy, Lord, receive the souls of those who undertook perilous journeys
to escape hunger or crushing oppression or threats of violence
May they who did not know peace and security in this life
now find in you and with all the angels and saints
a place of peace and happiness,
as the share in the fullness of life with you, their creator and redeemer. Amen
by Father Louis CameliProfiles in Catholicism
