Today begins the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. For more information, scriptures, prayers and resources, see the Vatican page on this effort here and the Graymore Institute page here.
The theme for this year's Week of Prayer:
We Will All Be Changed
by the Victory of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
I pray not only for them,
but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you,
that they also may be in us,
that the world may believe that you sent me.
And I have given them the glory you gave me,
so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me,
that they may be brought to perfection as one,
that the world may know that you sent me,
and that you loved them even as you loved me.
Father, they are your gift to me.
I wish that where I am they also may be with me,
that they may see my glory that you gave me,
because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Righteous Father, the world also does not know you,
but I know you, and they know that you sent me.
I made known to them your name
and I will make it known,
that the love with which you loved me may be in them
and I in them.
-John 14:20-26
