Pray for unity, pray for the synodHeavenly Father,
as the Magi journeyed towards Bethlehem led by the star,
so by your heavenly light,
guide the Catholic Church to walk together with all Christians during this time of synod.
As the Magi were united in their worship of Christ,
lead us closer to your Son and so to one another,
so that we become a sign of the unity that you desire for your Church and the whole creation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Orar por la unidad, orar por el sínodo
Padre celestial,
como los Reyes Magos fueron a Belén guiados por la estrella,
que tu luz celestial guíe también a la Iglesia católica durante este tiempo sinodal,
para que camine junto con todos los cristianos.
Como los Reyes Magos estaban unidos en su adoración a Cristo,
acércanos a tu Hijo, para que estando más cerca unos de otros,
seamos un signo de la unidad que deseas para tu Iglesia y para toda la creación.
Te lo pedimos por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.
