Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025
The Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity (DPUC) has made available the texts in several languages for the 2025 Week of Prayer HERE. It traditionally takes place from January 18 to 25 in the Northern Hemisphere, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it is typically celebrated around Pentecost.
This year's theme, inspired by the Gospel of John ("Do you believe this?" - John 11:26), has been prepared by the Monastic Community of Bose. On the occasion of the 1,700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council, the Week invites reflection on the common faith of Christians, as expressed in the Nicene Creed.
The materials include daily prayers, readings, and an ecumenical service, with the addition of patristic texts to enrich the reflection. These resources can be used not only during the Week but throughout 2025.
