O generous St. Alban,
who took in and kept safe a holy priest
who was fleeing persecution
and who was martyred for your faith
look kindly upon all who are fleeing persecution
or are seeking refuge for any reason.
Ask the Lord to send angels to protect them
and keep them safe from harm.
Pray for them, dear saint,
along with the Blessed Virgin Mary,
that they will have the strength, courage,
and assistance they need to faithfully live each day
in unfamiliar places far from their homes.
Pray that the Lord blesses them
with all the help and assistance they need
to adjust to new environments and cultures
and with hope for a better future.
O holy martyr, keep them all in your prayers,
and ask the Lord to allow them in time
to establish new homes or return
to their homeland safely and resume
their lives and livelihoods.
Amen.
