-Give due attention to prayer for unity in the celebration of the Eucharist;

-Offer daily prayer or devotions for the intention of Christian unity. Examples can include the Morning Offering, praying the Rosary or Eucharistic adoration;
-Seek Christian unity through fasting, penance and personal conversion;
