Justice for Immigrants: Homily Suggestions for Pastors on the Issue of Migration
Migrants who come to the United States, particularly the undocumented, are among the voiceless who need someone to speak on behalf of their human rights and dignity. When the scriptural or liturgical texts address this point, whether on a special occasions or on regular Sundays, the homily can be an effective moment for prophetic instruction and encouragement. The homily provides an opportune moment to highlight the Church’s mandate and tradition of welcome, outreach and service, and to invite others to participate in this calling.
