“In all of Christ’s disciples the Spirit arouses the desire to be peacefully united, in the manner determined by Christ, as one flock under one shepherd. The journey of the Church, especially in our own time, is marked by the sign of ecumenism: Christians are seeking ways to restore that unity which Christ implored from the Father for his disciples on the day before his Passion: ‘That they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me’ (Jn. 17:21). The unity of Christ’s disciples, therefore, is a great sign given in order to kindle faith in the world while their division constitutes a scandal” (Redemptoris Mater, St. John Paul II).
