Pope Francis urged Catholics to encounter the divine in the vulnerable among us in his message for yesterday’s World Day of Migrants and Refugees. In the National Catholic Reporter, Anna Gallagher of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network reflects on the meaning of the pontiff’s message. “By welcoming migrants and refugees into our communities, we are not merely offering them a haven,” she writes. “We are inviting them to enrich our lives and expand our understanding of God’s boundless love and mercy.”
