Our one calling

Scripture

Micah 6:6-8
Psalm 133
Mark 3:13-15

Meditation

In Ephesians 4:1, Paul emphasizes the significance of living a life worthy of the “calling to which you have been called”, which is intrinsically linked to the unity of the Christian community. Amid a divided society, the Gospel calls believers to overcome barriers and foster reconciliation. This divine calling invites us to embody God’s values within the fellowship of believers. By aligning our conduct with this calling, we not only reflect Christ’s teachings but also contribute to the unity and growth of the body of Christ. Recognizing and embracing this calling is essential for living out the true essence of Christian community and nurturing a harmonious, supportive fellowship. How does reflecting on the “calling to which you have been called” as described in Ephesians 4:1 inspire you to actively contribute to unity within your local and wider church communities?

Prayer

God of light, you have called us out of darkness into your light. May our response to your call lead us to actively seek reconciliation and share your light in the world. Amen.

  1. Thank you for the video and meditation so I can share in the prayers forChristian Unity

  2. Friars, thank you for providing this wonderful resource. I sent the link to 7 of my friends as I believe this is a calling for us all. I live in a community with diverse religions, I try to acknowledge their special holidays with a gift or call while at the same time sharing my Catholic faith by giving each of them a small neighbor Christmas gift and card each year. It has been a blessing and brought us closer as neighbors and friends and hopefully all of us closer to Christ. Amen.

  3. This a great concept. Very happy to see this happen for the Friars. Such good explanations will foster
    the work of Fr. Paul Wattson, SA Servant of God and Apostle of Christian Unity. Onward to Sainthood Fr. Paul.

  4. Because i am a Religious nun and 92 years old with several limitations, i can only promise daily prayer.
