January 18th begins the octave of Christian unity, an eight day period of prayer that the Church may be visibly one as Jesus prayed. As many of you know, my brother and I run a website which has a goal of fostering better Orthodox-Catholic relations. We are remembering this year’s octave as a time to pray and work for unity among Catholics and the Orthodox, so that the Church may "breathe with both lungs" as the Holy Father has described it.
