Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity starts today. During the week, we pray for the unity of Christians throughout the world with Ephesians 4.1-13 as the central text. Each of us is called to reflect on these verses which include the words, ‘There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.’ (Eph 4.4) There will be a Mass for Unity on Saturday 24th at 10am with prayers for reunion with the See of Peter.
