If open persecution breaks out again upon the disciples of Jesus (the eternal and only-begotten Son of God the Father), all of His true disciples must stand together, even across denominational boundaries. This will commend the Truth of the Gospel to the unbelieving world, as Jesus Himself said: “By this, all shall recognize that you are my disciples: if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35). So I ask that we pray for the unity of all who truly love and hope in Jesus Christ as the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, whether or not they would be inclined to articulate their faith in precisely that way. This would certainly include believing Catholic and Orthodox Christians, as well as many Evangelicals. In so doing, we need not compromise the unique fullness of the Catholic faith, as Jesus again reminds us: “For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me. For whoever is not against you is for you” (Mark 9:38-39).
 
Paul:
You might want to change the first word of your paragraph from “If” to “When”. The followers of Jesus Christ are indeed being pressed from all sides. For the past dozen years, I have been wondering why we all have been so worried about the gnats in each others’ eyes while we fail to see the logs rolling downhill towards us all! Let us pray that we may set aside the many small differences, resolve the Big Ones in humility and love, and reunite to bring His love back to the world. A HUGE amen to your prayer intentions!
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Praying for unity in the Church. Praying for all outside the Church to join the Church. :gopray::gopray2:
