unity

     The month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus. Our Holy Father asks us to join him in prayer for peaceful unity among all people in the Name of Jesus. The general prayer intention is for inter religious dialogue and the mission prayer intention is for Christian unity. 

     Saint Paul's words, in his letter to the Ephesians, reflect this beautiful sentiment. "I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called. With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity, careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace. One body and one Spirit as you are called in one hope of your calling. One faith, one Lord, one baptism."

Epesians 4:1-5
