As Christians, Ben and Ben will have a pattern of prayer during their 2 weeks at Parliament Square.
They will pray at 8am, noon and 7pm each day and welcome you to join them.
Here is a specific prayer we will be using in our time at Parliament Square:
Together on the Journey - A Prayer for Migrants, Asylum Seekers and Refugees
Dear Jesus, our journey through life is long and hard. We cannot make this trip alone; we must walk together on the journey. You promised to send us a helper, your Spirit. Help us to see your Spirit in those you send to journey with us.
In the refugee family, seeking safety from violence, Let us see your Spirit.
In the migrant worker, bringing food to our tables, Let us see your Spirit.
In the asylum-seeker, seeking justice for himself and his family, Let us see your Spirit.
In the unaccompanied child, travelling in a dangerous world, Let us see your Spirit.
Teach us to recognize that as we walk with each other, You are present. Teach us to welcome not only the strangers in our midst but the gifts they bring as well: the invitation to conversion, communion, and solidarity.
This is the help you have sent: we are not alone. We are together on the journey, and for this we give you thanks.
Amen.
