Day 6 of a Prolonged Period of Prayer for Christian Unity: Changed Through God's Steadfast Love

The title of today's theme emphasizes a critical, critical theological, faith-based point: God's Look of  Love is always in front of us. Below is a series of questions that arise from ecumenical periods of prayer and reflection:

1) Are there any hidden hostilities that effect our relationship to each other as Christian communities? If so, what are they?  

2) How can we learn to welcome our neighbor as Christ welcomes us?  

3) Respecting the right of each to believe as he or she wishes, how can Christian love be shown in a diverse world? 

Please do not hesitate to leave your on ideas to these questions.

 Closing: 

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, by Your Resurrection You have triumphed over death, and have become the Lord of life. Out of love for us You have chosen us to be Your friends. May the Holy Spirit unite us to You and to one other in the bonds of friendship, that we may faithfully serve You in this world as witnesses to Your steadfast love; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
