Don’t Miss It! – Friday, January 25th Sister Nancy Murray, a Dominican nun with a drama undergrad degree, will be performing a one-act play about the life of St. Catherine of Siena.

Interestingly, Sister Nancy is the biological sister of comedian Bill Murray. Come for a night of fun and fellowship on Friday, January 25 beginning at 7 p.m. here at the University Catholic Center. This event is free and open to the public so gather your friends and help us kick off the celebration of 100 years of Catholic campus ministry at UT.

Christian Unity Octave The word "octave" comes from the Latin word for eight. According to the first creation story in the Book of Genesis, God created the world in seven days. Seven is a number that represents wholeness and completion. The resurrection of Jesus was called the "eighth day" by the earliest Christians, because now life was lived in a whole new dimen-sion of freedom. The Church Unity Octave is eight days of spe-cial prayer for the reunion of all Christians. At the Last Supper Jesus prayed for his followers "that they all may be one." But Christians have some-times forgotten that we are all one body with Christ as our head. We think of ourselves instead as Eastern or Western, Protestant or Catholic. In recent years the churches have made impor-tant steps toward understanding each other. Pope John XXIII made history by inviting leaders of other Christian churches to the Vatican. When he called the Roman Catholic bishops to the Second Vatican Council, Anglicans, Methodists, Quakers, Congregationalists, Lutherans and Orthodox were included as observers. Nothing like this had ever been seen. The churches have continued to work together toward greater harmony. But prayer is still needed so that the body of Christ on earth can be strong and united. That will help the people of the world hear the voice of Christ speaking clearly. The church prays for Christian unity all during the year. But during the week of the Church Unity Octave we pray with special concern. We ask that all Christians might be able to work together. The Church Unity Octave ends on January 25, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul.
