DAY 8: WAITING FOR THE KINGDOM AND THE LIFE TO COME | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/2025/01/25/2025-week-of-prayer-for-christian-unity-4-day-8/

Today is day eight and the conclusion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which is celebrated around the world from January 18th – 25th. As we conclude this year’s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, we join our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world in praying for peace, love, justice and unity in our divided and conflicted world so we can better build God’s Kingdom here on earth. May God in His infinite grace and mercy, look down with pity upon us and keep us all united in peace, love and faith, so that we may all be truly one in Christ…Amen🙏

All Christian Churches and communities worldwide are invited to use the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025 resources to pray together for the unity among churches throughout the year.
