MAUNDY THURSDAY We pray today for unity amongst all Christian churches, recognizing that our disunity is sinful: Lord, you have declared your will That we should faithfully keep your commandments. You have commanded us to love one another As you have loved us. Lord, in your mercy Hear our prayer. Lord, we pray for Christians throughout the world That we may be one. We pray for the Roman Catholic Church and Benedict the Pope That we may be one. We pray for the Eastern Orthodox churches and for their Patriarchs and Archbishops That we may be one. We pray for the Lutheran churches around the world That we may be one. We pray for the Methodist churches and their clergy That we may be one. We pray for the Presbyterian churches and their ministers That we may be one. We pray for the Baptist churches and their leaders That we may be one. We pray for all other churches That we may be one. We pray for the Anglican Communion and for Justin, Archbishop of Canterbury That we may be one. We pray for the unity of all Christian people, that the world may believe That we may be one. Holy God, source of all love, on the night of his betrayal Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment, to love one another as he loved them: Write this commandment in our hearts; give us the will to serve others as he was the servant of all, who gave his life and died for us, yet is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. - via Oremus.org
