Draw Closer to Jesus

During this Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Fr. Michael highlights the call from Pope Francis, who echoed the words of his namesake St. Francis of Assisi, that all people should be drawn together through the love of Jesus. Support our Ministry: https://htoh.us/donate from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Fr. Michael read this prayer: We pray, O gracious Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that we all may be one as you are one. In your community of complete unity, we have our beginning and our end. To you we pray, asking for the gift of visible unity among all who believe in your Christ. As we commemorate this Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, we are reminded by your Word that all human beings are our neighbors and that we are to love them like ourselves and in the same way we love you. Help us to overcome the barriers and divisions we have nurtured against your will. Grant to us, O Lord, a new Spirit of love and solidarity, that we may proclaim your good news to all of creation. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ, who with you and the Holy Spirt are one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
