Tomorrow begins the Week of Prayer for
Christian Unity
The Church Unity Octave, a
forerunner of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, was developed by Servant
of God Father Paul Wattson, SA, at Graymoor in Garrison, New York, and was
first observed at Graymoor from January 18-25, 1908. Today, the Week of Prayer
for Christian Unity invites the whole Christian community throughout the world
to pray in communion with the prayer of Jesus “that they all may be one” (John
17:21). *
Please join me for prayer this week not only for Christian Unity but also for peace. I will be posting biblical reflections and prayers for the eight days taken from the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. This is an invitation for all Christians throughout the world from all peoples, nations, tongues, and tribes.
This Week of Prayer also begins on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
