God Blesses any step however small, towards Christian Unity

This was and still is Christ's desire. That we may all be one! John 17, 21-23

God, You who are full of Compassion,

let Your Face smile on us to unite us,

look down from heaven,

look at our division that reigns now in Your Church,

Your lambs, My Shepherd,

are perishing in great numbers

as they search to pasture to keep life in them;

listen to the groans of the Church;

this great Apostasy predicted

is robbing You of Your children,

bring to Your Church

this Day of Glory You once foretold

so that we may all be one,

Lord, do not remain silent and do not delay any more,

come! come, bring to us the Day once foretold,

make everyone hear Your Majestic Voice;

You are known to be Gracious, My God,

give me a hearing and answer me .....

I give You thanks

for I know that You have heard me;

amen;

True Life in God, July 22nd, 1992

O Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour,

thou didst promise to abide with us always.

Thou dost call all Christians to draw near

and partake of Thy Body and Blood.

Just one sin has divided us

and we have no power to partake

of thy Holy Eucharist together.

We confess this our sin and we pray thee

forgive us and help us

to serve the ways of reconciliation

according to thy Will.

Kindle our hearts with the fire of the Holy Spirit

give us the spirit of wisdom, and faith

of daring and of patience,

of humility and of firmness

of love and of repentance

through the prayers of

the most blessed Mother of God,

and of all the saints. Amen

(Prayer of Fr. Sergius Bulgakov)
