Pope Benedict on Church Unity

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an important event in the life of the Church. There are two very important ideas at the heart of this week and they are love and prayer. Love and prayer have to be at the heart of all our efforts and endeavours as we strive to be faithful to Jesus’ prayer ‘that they may be one even as we are one’ (John 17:22). Pope Benedict himself is a wonderful example of this ‘spiritual ecumenism’ rooted in love and prayer and we sit at his feet and learn from him. We invite you to pray on his words because they will lead you to pray more earnestly for unity and understand it as the gift of the Holy Spirit that it is.

Dietriech Bonhoeffer

Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical on Christian Unity, Ut unum sint, pointed to the martyr witness of men and women from other Christian denominations who had laid down their lives for Christ as powerful and eloquent proof that disunity and division can be overcome as the Church seeks to be faithful to Jesus’ command that she be one as the Father and he are One. ‘These brothers and sisters of ours, united in the selfless offering of their lives for the Kingdom of God, are the most powerful proof that every factor of division can be transcended and overcome in the total gift of self for the sake of the Gospel’ (para. 1).

Outreach Programmes

Since the beginning Alive Publishing has always had a desire to ‘reach out’ with our Catholic magazines, Catholic books, and other Christian resources.

More about Outreach Programmes

Alive Publishing is a Catholic Christian publishing house. The company, which has charitable status, was incorporated in 1996 with the launch of Bible Alive, a Catholic scripture magazine, rooted in the daily and Sunday liturgy of the Catholic Church.

As a Catholic publishing company we look to scriptures, the living tradition of the church, the saints both ancient and new, the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, Pope John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI for inspiration, guidance and light. Our bespoke publications, including Catholic magazines, books and newspapers are rooted in a vision which is informed by the Holy Spirit, guided by the teaching authority of the Catholic Church and strengthened by daily conversion, repentance and prayer.

Alive Publishing produces Catholic Today, the Catholic newspaper for the Birmingham Archdiocese, and the new Faith Today magazine.
