Our Nation and Government — Strangers and Immigrants (1)
O God, the Father of all men, who hast bidden thy people to show kindness to the stranger: We pray for those who come from other countries and make their home in this land. Help them to overcome the difficulties of custom, language, and race; surround them with companions who welcome and befriend them; and bless the societies which foster understanding and goodwill; that in thy great family we may live as members one of another; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
