THE ECUMENICAL AND COMMUNAL SIGNIFICANCE OF PRAYER AND WORSHIP IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF UNITY.

The author discusses the ecumenical and communal significance of prayer and worship in the spirituality of unity that has shaped the Focolare Movement. She shows how from the start of the movement the love of God and the accompanying love of one another became key concepts in understanding and moving towards unity. She suggests to foster communion with God in morning and evening prayers, in celebrating the Eucharist, and in daily meditation. She cites one prayer that has developed in the spirituality of unity called the "Consenserint."
