The prayer of Jesus (Jn 17: 20-26) is part of the Priestly Prayer which Jesus offered at the Last Supper. In this Priestly Prayer, we find Christ prays for the unity of the Church. Jesus gives us the Spirit of unity and we are united by the glory given to us by Christ.
The Catholic Church always prays for the ecumenical dialogue and unity in our Christian Churches. The glory of the Church is supposed to be unity and is to build a unity of faith and communion among people.
Faith makes us appreciate the human relationships and friendships because it grasps their ultimate foundation in God and in His love for a service of the common good.
Faith in the Church is capable of enhancing the richness of human relations, their ability to endure, to be trustworthy, to enrich our life together. Faith helps us to build our communities and leads us towards a future of hope. What a joy to be engaged and united with one another in prayers.
“The Lord is King, most high above all the earth,” (Psalm 96)
