Yesterday this country was reminded by the celebrations and rehtoric making Martin Luther King Jr. Day of the dream for unity of all peoples in this country. Today, Christians around the world will be praying for the next week for the unity of all Christians. The week used to be called The Church Unity Octave: eight days of prayers, talks, fasting, and reaching out in understanding at the grassroots as well as official levels. On this first day, let us pray the Lord's prayer slowly, meditating on the words, OUR FATHER...and pray for an openness to understand all who call God "our Father" as OUR brothers and sisters. This simple step , multiplied world-wide, can and will bring us closer to the unity that Jesus prayed for at the last supper: "Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are." (Jn 17: 11).
