FROM THE DIOCESAN LITURGY RESOURCE CENTRE

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2021 – 18th to 25th January marks the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity. This year’s Liturgy was prepared by the monastic community of sisters in Grandchamp, Switzerland, who draw much from the spirit of the Taize Community. Attached are three resources that we hope will help you find prayers you could include each day of the Octave in your parish liturgy, a simplified prayer in the home, and the entire text ‘as Gaeilge’. This year’s Inaugural Service, hosted by Christ Church Rathgar Presbyterian and organised by the Dublin Council of Churches, will be available as a pre-recorded You Tube featuring participants from 14 Christian denominations in the Dublin area. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin is the preacher. A link to that Inaugural Prayer will be shared with you as soon as it becomes available.
