Third Sunday of
Lent
"...that they may be one
as We are one: I in them and You in Me.
May they be brought to
complete unity to let the world know
that You sent Me and have
loved them even as You have loved Me."
- John
17:22b,23
"Indeed, the charism of
unity ... is strongly anchored in the Eucharist, which confers on it its Christian and ecclesial character.
Without the Eucharist, unity
would lose its magnet of divine attraction and would be reduced to a sentiment
and to a dynamic that is only human, psychological and sociological.
Instead, the Eucharist
guarantees that Christ is the center, and that it is His
Spirit, the Holy Spirit, that moves our steps and our initiatives of encounter
and communion."
Pope Francis
