The annual
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity begins today. At the end of his General Audience on Wednesday, Pope Benedict XVI said:
I invite everyone to pray, ceaselessly
asking God for the great gift of unity among the disciples of the Lord. May the
inexhaustible power of the Holy Spirit encourage us in a sincere commitment to
the search for unity, so that together we may all profess that Jesus is the
Savior of the world.
This year’s theme
is, “What the Lord requires of us,” which is inspired by the prophet Micah (cf
Mi 6: 6-8). Let us each do what the Lord requires of us, reaching out to the
His scattered children in our communities and through our prayers.

Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
