At de alle må være ett…

Prayer, the fundamental cosmic force of creation, is found in its completeness in Christ praying for Unity. In that prayer he expresses before his Father his own desire, since Christian Unity is part of his Father’s divine plan; his prayer is the expression of his will for his baptized. What has once existed in the mind of Christ exists eternally, for through his mind it becomes part of his person, part of the eternal Word. Christ continues to pray for Unity intil the end of time, in the love of the Spirit, the Lamb before the Father’s throne. But he desires us to share this prayer with him, for all Christians share in his life.
