Prayer is a powerful way to be united as Christians from all over the world. Every year my church community in Cuba joins the celebration of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with daily devotions and a special worship service, usually on Sundays. Being connected in the same prayerful spirit around a common text that turns into so many testimonies of faith is truly a gift of the Spirit and an ecumenical commitment.
The following interview with Benoît and Denise Lokila, of the Cana Fraternity in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is part of a series dedicated to the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
This week in the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle, we pray with the people and churches of the Indian Ocean Islands of the Comoros, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles.
Prayers were prepared in cooperation with the Lutheran World Federation.
