Ahead of the 2025 Jubilee, Pope Francis has inaugurated a Year of Prayer.
He is calling on the faithful “to intensify prayer to prepare us to live well this event of grace and to experience the power of God’s hope.”
The Holy Father explains that the Year of Prayer is dedicated “to rediscovering the great value and absolute need for prayer, prayer in personal life, in the life of the Church, prayer in the world.” He added that the Dicastery for Evangelization will be preparing materials to assist in celebrating the Year.
DIOCESAN PRAYERS
Prayer for Vocations
Prayer for Families
Pray for our bishop, that he may be faithful to the Apostolic office, entrusted to him in his lowliness, and that in our midst, he may be made day by day, a living and more perfect image of Christ the priest, the Good Shepherd, the teacher and servant of all.
Pray for our priests, that the Lord may pour out His gifts abundantly upon them, keep them faithful as ministers of Christ the High Priest, so that they may lead you to Him, the source of Salvation.
“Teach us to Pray” Luke 11:1
To mark the Year of Prayer, the Dicastery for Evangelization has prepared a series of useful materials and aids which can be used by Christian communities and individuals in their preparations for the 2025 Jubilee.
The booklet, inspired by the teachings of Pope Francis, is written as an invitation to intensify prayer, understood as a personal dialogue with God, and to lead readers to reflect on their faith, and their commitment in today's world, in the various contexts in which they are called to live.
The aim is to offer reflections, ideas, and advice to help people to live their dialogue with the Lord more fully in their relationships with others. The guide is made up of sections dedicated to prayer in the parish community, and in the family, with other sections dedicated to young people, cloistered communities, catechesis, and spiritual retreats.
