Today is the final day of the octave of prayer for Christian Unity. It is also the Feast of the conversion of St Paul, who after his experience on the road to Damascus became a follower of Jesus.
we praise you for sending your Son
to be one of us and to save us.
Look upon your people with mercy,
for we are divided in so many ways,
and give us the Spirit of Jesus to make us one in love.
We ask this gift, loving Father,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
