A prayer for Christian unity

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is dedicated to reflecting on our unity in Christ and exploring ways to demonstrate love and support for one another.
Congregation at prayer in the pews

Heavenly Father,
you have called us in the Body of your Son Jesus Christ
to continue his work of reconciliation
and reveal you to the world:
forgive us the sins which tear us apart;
give us the courage to overcome our fears
and to seek that unity which is your gift and your will;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Amen.
