*** During the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, Pope Francis calls us to deepen our awareness of the necessity to pray for the gift of unity among Christans and for peace and brotherhood among all religions. For this reason, the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity provides a perfect opportunity for every Christian community to set aside times of prayer to implore God for these gifts.
