The theme for this year’s week of prayer is ‘You shall love the Lord your God… and your neighbour as yourself. In Dublin it will be launched in Our Lady Mother of the Church, Castleknock on 18th Jan at 8pm. See www.ctbi.org.uk for resources that can be used this week (18th – 25th January).

The Vatican has similar resources on www.christianunity.va. Archbishop Dermot Farrell reminds us that ‘This week is a privileged moment of prayer, encounter and dialogue. An opportunity to recognise the richness and value that are present in the other, the different and to ask God for the gift of unity’.
