Prayer for the Day
A prayer for peace
We thank you, our Father and Mother, for teaching us the value of hope in the midst of the storms that accompany our lives. We thank you for being able to share with the poorest people the hunger and thirst for love that gives meaning to life. From our humble condition as your children, we pray that the wars will end. We beg you to perform one of your miracles of love and wisdom so that armies may be transformed into sowers of peace, justice and fraternity for their countries and for our world.
Thank you for allowing us to be resurrected everyday thanks to the water of new life of the gospel. Amen.

A prayer that we live in God's light

Christian Unity Week
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is 18 to January 25. The theme this year is “There is one body and one Spirit”, based on Ephesians 4:4.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ,
You bring us together in all our diversity,
as family and church.
In the face of so many situations on earth,
where hope has given way to despair
and hearts are wounded and emptied by disappointment,
renew our strength and unify us.
Help us to share Your hope wherever we find ourselves.
You are the true Light,
who casts out the darkness of sin,
despair and brokenness,
who shines into our hearts, releasing the joy
and the true hope of Your eternal love for all.
Amen.
