As we prepare to celebrate St. Patirck’s Day, we remember our Emigrants and offer this prayer:-

Bless all those who have left our country and now live in other lands.  Give them a strong faith so that they will always put their trust in you and make you known by the example of their lives.  Console those who are lonely because they are separated from those they love.  Help all missionaries who are working far fro home to make your love known.  Bless our people overseas who are sick or in prison.  We pray for foreigners living in our country that they may experience our hospitality.  Grant your eternal welcome to our emigrants who have died and to all the dead.  Amen.
