In unitate fidei
ON THE 1700th ANNIVERSARY OF THE COUNCIL OF NICAEA…
APOSTOLIC LETTER
IN UNITATE FIDEI
Pope Leo XIV calls us to unity and deeper faith with his new apostolic letter, “Let us therefore invoke the Holy Spirit to accompany and guide us in this work.”
Holy Spirit of God, you guide believers along the path of history.
We thank you for inspiring the Symbols of Faith and for stirring in our hearts the joy of professing our salvation in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, consubstantial with the Father. Without him, we can do nothing.
Eternal Spirit of God, rejuvenate the faith of the Church from age to age. Help us to deepen it and to return always to the essentials in order to proclaim it.
So that our witness in the world may not be futile, come, Holy Spirit, with your fire of grace, to revive our faith, to enkindle us with hope, to inflame us with charity.
Come, divine Comforter, source of harmony, unite the hearts and minds of believers. Come and grant us to taste the beauty of communion.
Come, Love of the Father and the Son, gather us into the one flock of Christ.
Show us the ways to follow, so that with your wisdom, we become once again what we are in Christ: one, so that the world may believe. Amen.
