For the eight days of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2021, ‘The Monastic Community of Grandchamp’ have proposed a journey of prayer:
Day 1: Called by God: “You did not choose me but I chose you” (Jn. 15:16a)
Day 2: Maturing internally: “Abide in me as I abide in you” (Jn. 15:4a)
Day 3: Forming one body: “Love one another as I have loved you” (Jn. 15:12b)
Day 4: Praying together: “I do not call you servants any longer … but I have called you friends” (Jn. 15:15)
Day 5: Letting oneself be transformed by the Word: “You have already been pruned by the word…” (Jn. 15:3)
Day 6: Welcoming others: “Go and bear fruit, fruit that will last” (Jn. 15:16b)
Day 7: Growing in unity: “I am the vine, you are the branches” (Jn. 15:5a)
Day 8: Reconciling with all of creation: “So that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete” (Jn. 15:11)
A prayer booklet to guide you in your prayer during these days is available in downloadable pdf format here
Check it out; then ask God about how he might want you to join in this time of prayer – either on your own or together with others who carry this vision in their hearts.
If you’d like to join us online in prayer, we will be gathering on Tuesday, Jan.19th from 8-9 pm AEDT. We will have a fun activity, a chat, an encouragement & time of prayer (for one another and for what’s coming up). The focus of our intercession this time will be for unity in the Body of Christ.
