As we consider what it means to be free – to live without the fear of war, to have basic human rights upheld, to live in equality and without the fear of persecution – we must remember the millions of families across the world who leave their homes for the sole purpose of finding safety and freedom. In Australia and nations across the globe, welcoming refugees into our communities is not just an act of charity, but a moral imperative. By doing so, we provide them with a chance for a new beginning and strengthen our own communities with their resilience, culture, and stories of hope. Embracing refugees means recognising the importance of family in fostering a sense of belonging and unity in the face of adversity. Let us pray for peace and the protection of families everywhere. May our actions reflect the compassion and love that Christ taught us, ensuring that every family, regardless of where they come from, finds safety, support, and a sense of belonging in our communities.
