to and care for them. And as Christians, we have the even higher calling of welcoming the stranger as Christ himself, for he reveals himself to us through them: “I was … a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35). St. Paul’s teaching in his Letter to the Ephesians is of one people, reconciled to each other in Christ, and through Christ reconciled to God the Father. It is a vision of disparate peoples who find a new peace and unity with each other through the revelation of God’s saving action. They are, then, no longer strangers to each other, nor to those who went before them in faith and now share the fullness of life in God’s Kingdom. This means, therefore, that if we are to be people of God, we cannot allow differences to be causes of division and hostility. Rather, we are to welcome persons of all cultures and languages as brothers and sisters. In closing, in addition to everything else, I would ask us all to remember, above all, to pray: to pray for those suffering hardship in seeking a new home whether as immigrants or refugees; to pray especially for victims of human trafficking; and to pray for a permanent solution leading to a just, equitable and comprehensive reform of our nation’s immigration system.
