Pope Francis Celebrates Vespers as the Week of Christian Unity 2023 Begins | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Week for Christian Unity 2023 begins on Wednesday and Pope Francis, following tradition, will celebrate Vespers in the Basilica of Saint Paul outside the walls next Tuesday. The theme of Ecumenical prayers for the week was chosen by the Minnesota Council of Christian Churches, an invocation from the Book of Isaiah: "Learn to do good, seek justice." EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, had the opportunity to interview Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity. Cardinal Koch explains what the situation is for Christian churches in Europe as the war in Ukraine continues. He discusses what the main motto is and what we are asked to pray for during this week. Cardinal Koch shares what he will personally be praying for this week. He fills us in on Pope Francis' trip to Africa coming soon.
