World Day of Migrants and Refugees - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

<p>This past weekend, we celebrated the World Day of Migrants and Refugees. People leave their home countries for many reasons: perhaps to be with family or to start a new career. But for others, their lives are in danger and staying is simply not an option. Everyone deserves to live free from fear and persecution and should be allowed to pursue personal opportunity. As we reflect on the difficult, often heart-breaking circumstances confronting so many migrants—including refugees from violence and war and victims of human trafficking—we must consider how we can help those most vulnerable people. This includes welcoming migrants and refugees and keeping them in our prayers. May we serve all of our brothers and sisters, for by doing so, we grow closer to our Lord, Jesus Christ.</p>
