I Rejoiced when I heard them
say...
Let us go to the House of the Lord!
Representative parties of the Great Schism, and the Great Reformation all on their
knees as they Open the Doors to Christ. Hallelujah! |
Let us pray we all go in
together. Read more here. |
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
I vividly recall the emotion I felt last Tuesday as we opened the Holy Door at the
Basilica of St Paul-Outside-the-Walls during a solemn ecumenical celebration with Orthodox
Metropolitan Athanasios, Anglican Archbishop George Carey and the representatives of many
Churches and Ecclesial Communities. I wanted this event to coincide with the beginning of
the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, with the intention of showing how the
restoration of Christian unity is a commitment we share and must inspire the great prayer
being offered to the Lord in every part of the world during this Jubilee Year.
The act of opening together that Door, which is a symbol of Christ, was an eloquent sign
encouraging us to continue on the path that still lies before us and for which we must
above all continue to pray. I thank the Churches and Ecclesial Communities for sending
their representatives, making it possible to give the world this sign of hope, and I
assure them once again of my intention to support every action that will make our longing
for unity ever more genuine and effective.
