Abstract
The disciples of Jesus are called to be salt and light of the world (Mat. 5:13-16). Unfortunately, it is not always easy to fulfill this vocation, because on several occasions, their energy seems to run out due to the division between them. In such a situation, Jesus’ prayer (John 17) reminds them of the importance of the unity. The prayer that appears at the end of the farewell discourse shows that the true source of the disciples' unity comes from God himself; unity cultivated in a worldly way is often very fragile. Even so, the disciples still had a duty to prove in living together that true unity. This vocation has a missionary impact, for only then will everyone see that God really lives among his people. That is what drives the Catholic Church today to build ecumenical dialogue.
