Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2023නියැදිය

Learning to do the right thing
Readings
Is 1:12-18 Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan; plead for the widow
Lk 10:25-36 He asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?”
Christian Unity
A lawyer asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?” Jesus’ response asks us to see beyond the divisions of religion, tribe and nationality to recognize our neighbour in need. Christians likewise must see beyond these divides and the divisions within the Christian family to recognize and love our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Challenge
Who are the marginalized or oppressed in your society? How might churches together walk with these brothers and sisters, respond to their need and speak up on their behalf?
Prayer
Lord, you called your people from slavery into freedom, Give us strength and courage to seek out those who are standing in need of justice. Allow us to see this need and provide help, and through your Holy Spirit gather us into the one fold of Jesus Christ, our Shepherd. Amen.
