I'm feeling more and more excited- I know that this is a great event, but also that only if we pray and listen to the Spirit, we can get somewhere.. Last month, I have attended the third assembly of Orthodox Youth, in Istanbul, (within the Catholic delegation) and I was impressed by the speech on ecumenism that a Finnish Orthodox priest held. He said: 'We are not called to erase the differences between us, but to pray together and to learn from each other'. Diplomacy brings nothing, unless we have Christ among us! Let's pray for this assembly, so that the Holy Spirit will enlighten the participants and help us love the other's confession as we love our own.
