# 11 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (Concession Eleven)
The Catholic Church takes especially to heart the prayer her Founder offered to the Father the day before he suffered, “That all may be one!”, and therefore she strenuously encourages the faithful to pray without ceasing for the unity of Christians.
## Section One
§ 1 A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who participate in some of the services during the Week of Christian Unity and assist at the closing of this same week.
## Section Two
§ 2 A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who devoutly recite an appropriately approved prayer for the unity of Christians (e.g. Omnipotens et misericors Deus).
## Omnipotens Et Misericors Deus
Almighty and merciful God, who wished to gather the scattered nations into one people through your Son, grant that those who glory in the name of Christians may put aside division and become one in truth and charity, and that all men may be illumined by the true faith and brought together into the fraternal communion of one Church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
