WelCom February 2022
Pope Francis has invited everyone to participate in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which this year focuses on a theme relating to the experience of the Magi, who came from the East to Bethlehem to worship the Messiah King: ‘We saw the star in the East, and we came to worship him.’ The Pope said in a similar way, Christians of diverse backgrounds and traditions ‘are pilgrims on our way to full unity’ who come closer to our goal when keeping our gaze fixed on Jesus. The Week of Prayer is celebrated in January in Europe but in New Zealand it is celebrated between the feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost at the end of May.
