A Prayer for Christian Unity
We pray:
One only Holy Spirit of Father and Son in whom all are baptized,
one giver of many gifts, one tree of many fruits
one speaker of every tongue, renew in our day the wonders of Pentecost,
grant that people of every race and nation may understand one another, and as one,
proclaim the praises of God.
Grant that all may be one as you, Spirit, with the Father and the Son are one God, one Lord.
Grant unity to the Body of Christ; grant unity to the human family.
Sole breath of every living thing, may all be one who, in you, live and move and have their being.
“We saw the star in the East, and we came to worship" (cf Matthew 2:2)
