In an ecumenical atmosphere, the three different churches (Catholic, Orthodox and Protestants) represented by their leaders, participated in the closing service of the Week of Prayer on Sunday, Jan 27, 2013 at the Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia in Antelias.
It has been a tradition to have the Week of Prayer between 18-25 of January from every year. The theme for this year was "What does God require of us," taken from the book of the prophet Micah (cf. Mi 6, 6-8).
The speakers invited all to pray unceasingly asking God for the great gift of unity among all the disciples of the Lord. And the choir chanted wonderfully from all church traditions of the East.
May the inexhaustible power of the Holy Spirit encourage us all toward a sincere commitment in our search for unity, so that we might all together praise God and Christ, our Lord.
