The Holy Father spoke about Christ’s 'priestly prayer' at the Last Supper on the last day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity on Jan. 25, the feast of the conversion of St. Paul.
'We should entrust ourselves to the will of the Father, reading events in the perspective of his glory, of his plan of love, which is often a mystery to our eyes. ... In our prayer, request, praise and thanksgiving should fuse together, even when it seems to us that God does not respond to our expectations.'
Christians 'have to keep the heart of a child ... in order to recognize that we are not self-sufficient, but that we need God, that we have to seek him, listen to him, speak to him.'
