We saw His Star in the East… (Mt. 2:2) The Magi travel from far-off countries, and represent diverse cultures, yet they are driven by the same hunger to see and know the new-born king. In this we can find a metaphor for Christian unity: that is, of different Christian peoples drawn together in their common search to recognise Christ, to know him and to worship him and witnessing to wider need for unity and to overcome injustice. A group of Christians in the Middle East prepared the theme for this year. Image: www.americamagazine.org
Christian Unity Week
The night before his Passion and Death,
Jesus said:
“May they all be one, just as,
Father, you are in me and
I am in you” Jn 17:21
Each year from 18-25th January,
Christians unite around the world to
pray for this great desire of the heart of
Jesus—that we may all be one.
Here at Kilmacud Carmelite Monastery
we dedicate our Evening Prayer at
4.30pm for this intention each day
during the Week of Prayer.
