Dignity and Mercy for Migrants
That's the end of this homily.
Fr. Michael preaches on the importance of treating all migrants with dignity and mercy. Cabrini Pledge I PLEDGE: To affirm, in word and deed, the inherent dignity of every person, regardless of immigration status or country of origin, seeing each as a child of God before all else. To engage with Scripture and the Church’s social teaching, reflecting on the role of migration in salvation history, the history of the United States, and the history of my own family. To listen and learn about the circumstances facing migrants and refugees, including those in my community, with an open heart and mind. To seek opportunities for encounter, so as to grow in deeper understanding and communion that leads to an authentic solidarity with those in need. To consider what it means to be a good neighbor and how I am called to reflect the love and hope of Christ to others. To encourage civic dialogue that places the human person and the sanctity of families at the center of policymaking, especially toward the end of meaningful immigration reform. To join with Pope Leo in praying for all migrants and refugees as fellow travelers on the journey to our true homeland. Read the pledge on the bishops website: https://www.usccb.org/cabrinipledge
