Youth today

"‘We buy junk and sell antiques!’ -Sign outside a country shop"

All type of junk can never become an antique.
Such junk could be described as hurts, grudges, anger, hatred, jealousy, cynicism, to mention only a few. They are simply no use to anyone.
God is always gently encouraging us to get rid of such junk. In its place we welcome God’s invitation to new beginnings and possibilities no matter how small.

Prayer for Christian Unity: 18th - 25th January.

The theme for the 2012 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is drawn from 1 Cor 15:51-58 which states -
"We will all be changed by the Victory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Day Two - Changed through patient waiting for the Lord

Let it be so now, for it is proper to fulfil all righteousness (Mt 3:15)

On this day we concentrate on patient waiting for the Lord. To achieve any change, perseverance and patience are needed. Prayer to God for any kind of transformation is also an act of faith and trust in his promises. Such waiting for the Lord is essential for all who pray for the visible unity of the church this week. All ecumenical activities require time, mutual attention and joint action. We are all called to co-operate with the work of the Spirit in uniting Christians.

Prayer for Christian Unity:
God, from whom all life flows in its rich diversity, you call your Church as the Body of Christ to be united in love. May we learn more deeply our unity in diversity and strive to work together to preach, and build up the Kingdom of your abundant love in all places. May we always be mindful of Christ as the source of our life together. We pray in the unity of the Spirit. Amen.
