Lord Jesus Christ, that when you were about to suffer
, you prayed for your disciples to
until the end would be one, as
Thou with the Father, with Thee and the Father
, knock down the barriers of separation that divide
together Christians of different denominations
. Teach everyone
that the seat of Peter, the Holy Church of Rome
, is the foundation, the center and
the instrument of this unit.
Open their hearts to the Truth,
long forgotten, that our Holy Father, Pope
, is Thy Vicar and Representative.
And, as in heaven there is only one company
holy, so
on this earth there is only one community that professes
and glorify Thy Holy Name
.
Blessed John Henry Newman
