Prayer for Christian Unity

Friends:

For several months now I have been offering prayer suggestions for those who wish to pray monthly for Christian Unity. Beginning with Advent, however, I will offer occasional spiritual reflections on this Blog. As I often say here, prayer is most important. We need the guidance of the Spirit.

Here is my final monthly guide:

  • To: Friends Praying Monthly for Christian Unity
    From: John Crossin
    Re: Some Suggestions for our Monthly Prayer
    Date: November, 2010—Virtues for Ecumenical Life

    Friends—it is fitting that this last of my Monthly Suggestions has to do with my favorite topic--the virtues. The passage from Ephesians is a classic unity text.


    1. We might read reflectively Ephesians 4:1-6.

    We might quietly reflect for 5-10 minutes.

    *How are we practicing humility, gentleness, patience and love in our ecumenical work?
    * Are we relying on the Spirit to guide us?

    2. If you are praying with someone, you might share a reflection with the other(s).

    3. You might pray together a prayer of your own choosing. I would suggest an Our Father

Peace,

John
