The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Eight Days reflecting on our change in Christ
Day Three: Changed by the Suffering Servant
Christ suffered for us (cf. 1 Pt 2:21)
This day calls us to reflect on the suffering of Christ. Following Christ the Suffering Servant, Christians are called to solidarity with all who suffer. The closer we come to the cross of Christ the closer we come to one another.
If Rome were anywhere near the cross of Christ, they would automatically draw near to the believers. When Rome is ready to abandon its self-made religion, its doctrines of darkness, let us know. We have always been unified with those who trust Jesus, alone. And, we await with open arms those who wandered into the wilderness, duped by the glitter of Roman gold.
