Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
"Abide in my love... You shall bear much fruit"
January 18-25, 2021
Gracious Lord, we pray for all the member of your holy Church, that all may abide in you and you in them, that they may be one in your love and bear much fruit. We also pray for the world, that all may come to believe in your love for them by the fruit of our witness. We know that our divisions are a source of scandal to your world, and we know that in love we are called to unite as one in the vine and branches. The vine is our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son. We are meant to be his branches. Help us we pray, to love, to forgive, to seek justice and to be your prophetic voice in the world. May your grace effect growth of good fruit among us, that our world may realize peace. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, your Son and in the power of the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever. Amen.
DECREE ON ECUMENISM
UNITATIS REDINTEGRATIO
Pope Francis: Christian Unity is a priority of the Church
"Those who persecute Christ in his faithful do not differentiate between confessions: They persecute them simply because they are Christians."
This was emphasized by Pope Francis when meeting with participants of the Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, which was marking the fiftieth anniversary of the promulgation of Unitatis redintegratio, the Second Vatican Council’s Decree on Ecumenism.
Earlier hostility and indifference that caused such deep wounds between Christians, the Pope says, have given way to a process of healing that allows us to welcome others as brothers and sisters, united in our common baptism.

THE HEART OF GOD IN HUMANITY...THE FAMILY
The New Heaven and The New Earth
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
“Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race.
He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them [as their God].

I Never Knew You
Jesus is describing in this parable the entourage of virgins who would be, in a sense, the first century...equivalent of bridesmaids today.
What Jesus is saying is that we have a situation where on that night of the great feast and of the wedding procession, you have these ten bridesmaids, five of whom were foolish and five wise. And the difference between the two is that the foolish ones didn't have any oil for their lamps.
Are You Ready for the Day of the Lord?
Are we listening to Wisdom and finding ourselves
in possession of oil and wedding garment?

Prayer
Gracious and Merciful God,
We pray that through the Holy Spirit all Catholics may hear the call of the New Evangelization and seek a deeper relationship with your Son, Jesus.
We pray that the New Evangelization will renew the Church, inspiring all Catholics to “go forth and make disciples of all nations” and transform society through the power of the Gospel.
We pray for all members of the Church, that we heed the words of Christ—“do not be afraid”—and strengthened by the Holy Spirit’s gift of courage, give witness to the Gospel and share our faith with others.
We pray that we may become like the father of the prodigal son—filled with compassion for our missing brothers and sisters—and run to embrace them upon their return.
We pray that all people yearning to know Christ and the Church may encounter him through the faithful who witness to his love in their lives.
Loving God, our Father, strengthen us to become witnesses to the saving grace of your Son, Jesus, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
ACTS
“‘But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?’” —Acts 1:8-11
STEWARDSHIP
STEWARDSHIP & CALLING
“‘ As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”
11* And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers,i
12to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry,* for building up the body of Christ,
13until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,* to the extent of the full stature of Christ,j
14so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming.k
15Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head,l Christ,*
16from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body’s growth and builds itself up in love.m
...to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath of water with the word,u 5:26
