Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Prayer for Christian Unity
This week we are invited to join in prayer with Christians all over the world to pray for Christian Unity. The theme for 2017 is ‘Reconciliation - The Love of Christ Compels Us’ (2 Corinthians 5:14-20) By joining in this annual novena (nine days of prayer concluding on Pentecost Sunday) Christians raise their voices, hands and hearts to God seeking the fulfillment of the prayer of Jesus, the Son of God, “that they all may be one.”
Let us pray
Lord Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, today and forever.
Heal the wounds of our past, bless our pilgrimage towards unity today and guide us into your future, when you will be all in all, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.
