Published: March 12, 2016, 7:17 p.m.

Jesus modeled an extraordinary passion for the unity of those who would follow him. He prayed, "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me" (John 17:20-21). Today there is a critical need for oneness and unity in the Church. Let's make Jesus' prayer for unity ... our own.
