Teach Us How to Pray
Living the Year of Prayer in Preparation for Jubilee 2025
This resource aide, inspired by the magisterium of Pope Francis, is intended to be used by the faithful during this time of preparation for the opening of the Holy Door. It is an invitation to intensify prayer as a personal dialogue with God. It summons us to reflect on our faith, on our commitment in today’s world in the different
spheres in which we are called to live, in order to foster a renewed ardor for the Evangelization of modern man. When Pope Francis announced the Year of Prayer preceding the Jubilee 2025, he encouraged the faithful as follows: «I ask you to intensify your prayer to prepare us to live well this event of grace, and to experience the strength of God’s hope. […] A year dedicated to rediscovering the great value and absolute need for prayer in personal life, in the life of the Church, and in the world» (Angelus, January 21, 2024).
