Ecumenism is a worldview that recognizes the scandal of denominational divisions. It also recognizes the need to heal those divisions and to repent of past sins and present obstacles. This book presents Christian unity as a spirituality that is celebrated throughout the liturgical seasons. It requires a conversion of the hearts and minds of the people in the pew, not just theologians. The author offers the Eucharist as key to that inner conversion. Arranged month by month, these sixty-four short essays from a Catholic perspective provide a year's worth of reflections. The arrangement makes it a useful tool for incorporating the spirit of unity into the liturgical year, while the content suggests practical steps to take. This broad look ranges from why pray for Christian unity, to relations with non-Christian religions. At every point the author's ideas are solidly rooted in scripture. A work of hope and inspiration, this book is recommended for all serious Catholics, preachers and teachers, diocesan ecumenical officers, ecumenical commissions, all clergy and religious, and pastoral staff members.
