PRAYER FOR THE UNITY OF ALL CHRISTENDOM

We pray to you, our Lord Jesus Christ, for the healing of Your Body, the Church.  And that our Protestant and Orthodox brethren will be re-united with us in the Holy Catholic Church.  We hope and pray for the fulfillment of Your own prayer:  "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given them the glory that you gave Me, that they may be one as We are one." (John 17:20-22)

Good point on unity. Some of the early Christians met in catacombs and in homes while in hiding from the authorities. The were in one accord and God moved amongst them with great power. Today we have Christians fighting over money, positions, titles, and who will own the giant edifices they’ve constructed.
