Prayer for Christian Unity
PRAYER for CHRISTIAN UNITY January 21-28, 2007
This universal week of prayer encourages Christians of all denominations to meet, to participate in various liturgical and other community activities, and to pray together that all may be one, as Christ desires.
The importance of unity among Christians and the responsibility of the people of each parish to work for this unity should be emphasized through the parish bulletin, banners, posters, notices, parish and ecumenical services and activities.
Christian education classes and young people's groups should be encouraged to study, understand and celebrate this week. All members of the parish should seek to have adeeper understanding of the Vatican Council's document on ecumenism.
