Let's give Him the gift He most deeply desires



"To love God is to wish Him all honour and glory and every good, and to endeavour, as far as we can, to obtain it for Him." (source)

"May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (St. John 17:23)

Lord Jesus, may we by your grace, be granted to present to You this gift: the overcoming of our divisions. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    Very moving, Bryan. These sentiments really began resonating deeply with me a couple of years ago. Probably not too surprising that I ended up where I ended up.

    Peace,

    Neal

    God wills the Church, because he wills unity, and unity is an expression of the whole depth of his agape ... To believe in Christ means to desire unity; to desire unity means to desire the Church; to desire the Church means to desire the communion of grace which corresponds to the Father's plan from all eternity. Such is the meaning of Christ's prayer: "Ut unum sint".
