The best prayers are in Psalms. Christ is not coming back for denominations He is coming back for His bride, Holy and without blemish.
We cannot compromise the truth.

+ The Church is one +
She acknowledges one Lord, confesses one faith, is born of one Baptism, forms only one Body, is given life by the one Spirit, for the sake of one hope (cf. Eph 4:3-5), at whose fulfillment all divisions will be overcome.
Work towards understanding and ecumenism between Christian faiths.
+ The Church is holy +
The Most Holy God is her author; Christ, her bridegroom, gave himself up to make her holy; the Spirit of holiness gives her life. Since she still includes sinners, she is "the sinless one made up of sinners." Her holiness shines in the saints; in Mary she is already all-holy.
Live the Gospel, work toward constant renewal and holiness.
+ The Church is catholic +
She proclaims the fullness of the faith. She bears in herself and administers the totality of the means of salvation. She is sent out to all peoples. She speaks to all men. She encompasses all times. She is "missionary of her very nature"
Work to include people instead of and not exclude them.
+ The Church is apostolic +
She is built on a lasting foundation: "the twelve apostles of the Lamb" (Rev 21:14). She is indestructible (cf. Mt 16:18). She is upheld infallibly in the truth: Christ governs her through Peter and the other apostles, who are present in their successors, the Pope and the college of bishops.
Listen to the leaders of the Church.
With love and prayers in Christ.

Prayer is a waste of time. While millions of people prayed on their "National Day of Prayer", thousands of atheists gave blood to help others. Though the atheists were far outnumbered by their superstitious counterparts, they did much more good for humanity.

Your priests could all get baptized Mormon and live in small polygamous communities. That way they could stop pretending to be celibate and the world would accept them for who they are. That'll remove the temptation to have fun with little boys.

AMEN!!! We can continue to sacrifice our self love by telling people the Gospel when they do not want to hear it. It is the real death defying sport. They hate you for it but maybe some take it to heart.
