St. Arnold Janssen Prayer

 

 

St. Arnold Janssen
Wished that
Catholics and Protesants
would pray together for unity in faith.

 

"O Lord Jesus Christ
before Your Passion,
you prayed to your heavenly Father
that all who believe in you
might be one,
as you are one with the Father.

Look with favour on the prayer that,
following your divine example,
we offer for the restoration of unity
among all who confess your holy Name.

Grant, O Lord, that with one voice
and one heart we may glorify and praise
your exalted and glorious Name,
as well as the name of the Father
and of the Holy Spirit,
now and forever and for all eternity.
Amen
