Thursday 21 May

Acts 22:30, 23:6-11, Ps. 16, John 17:20-26

One in Christ

The week – between Ascension and Pentecost is, for New Zealand, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Let us be prompted by Jesus’ prayer: “May they all be one. Father, may they be one in us, as you are in me and I am in you.” Pray, think and act so as to develop bonds that draw those who believe closer and closer – “so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and so that I may be in them.” Companions in Christ, Disciples of Christ and friends in Him.

Mary, Mother of the People of God, plead for us.
