DAY 4 PRAYER OF CHRISTIAN UNITY. THURSDAY 21st Jan 2021


DAY 4 PRAYER OF CHRISTIAN UNITY. 21st January 2021.

Praying together: “I do not call you servants any longer... but I have called you friends” (John 15:15)
Scripture

Romans 8:26-27, The Spirit helps us in our weakness
Luke 11:1-4, Lord, teach us to pray
Meditation

God thirsts for a relationship with us. God searches for us as God searched for Adam, calling him in the garden: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9)

In Christ, God came to meet us. Jesus lived in prayer, intimately united to his Father, while creating friendships with his disciples and all those he met. He introduced them to that which was most precious to him: the relationship of love with his Father, who is our Father. Jesus and his disciples sang psalms together, rooted in the richness of their Jewish tradition. At other times, Jesus retired to pray alone.

Prayer can be solitary or shared with others. It can express wonder, complaint, intercession, thanksgiving or simple silence. Sometimes the desire to pray is there, but one has the feeling of not being able to do so. Turning to Jesus and saying to him, “teach me,” can pave the way. Our desire itself is already prayer.

Getting together in a group offers us support. Through hymns, words and silence, communion is created. If we pray with Christians of other traditions, we may be surprised to feel united by a bond of friend- ship that comes from the One who is beyond all division. The forms may vary, but it is the same Spirit that brings us together.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, your entire life was prayer, perfect harmony with the Father. Through your Spirit, teach us to pray according to your will of love. May the faithful of the whole world unite in intercession and praise, and may your kingdom of love come. Amen.

DIVINE MERCY

THE CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY This Chaplet was dedicated to Sr. Faustina by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in Vilnius on September 13-14, 1935, as a prayer of atonement and for the appeasement of God's wrath. Those who recite this Chaplet offer to God the Father "the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity", of Jesus Christ in atonement for their sins , the sins of their loved ones , and those of the  entire world. By uniting themselves with the sacrifice of Jesus , they appeal to the great love that our Heavenly Father has for His Son and, in Him, for all humanity. By means of this prayer , the petitioners request "mercy on us and on the whole world", and by so doing , they perform a work of mercy. If the faithful add to this the foundation of trust and fulfill the conditions regarding every good prayer ( humility, perseverance, matters in conformity with God's will), they can expect the fulfillment of Christ's promises which are particularly rel...
