The occasion reminds Christians of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples, that “they may be one so that the world may believe”
"Let us all come together for prayer, formation and the renewed mission for the world the Lord calls us to serve."
"Let the earth be opened and bring forth a Saviour."
"Each year we journey through the Liturgical Calendar, walking in the Life events of Jesus, knowing that He is Risen and walks with us."
"The expectancy that we see in those who listened to John the Baptist is ours."
Special places of pilgrimage have been designated, and celebrations are planned in the Diocese.
