Praying hands at church

Year of Prayer

On January 21, 2024, Pope Francis inaugurated a Year of Prayer ahead of the 2025 Jubilee, calling on the faithful “to pray more fervently to prepare ourselves to live properly this grace-filled event and to experience the power of hope in God.”

The Year of Prayer, the Holy Father explained, 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.”

禧年禱文
我們的天父
願藉著祢的兒子耶穌基督,我們的兄弟,
所賜給我們的信德,
以及聖神傾注在我們心中的愛德之火焰,
在我們心中重新燃起
對你天國來臨的神聖望德。
願祢的恩寵改變我們,
使我們成為勤勞耕耘福音種子的人
讓人類和宇宙得以發酵,
滿懷信心地期待新天新地的到來,
當邪惡的勢力被戰勝時,
祢的榮耀將永遠彰顯。
願禧年的恩寵
在我們這些希望的朝聖者心中
重新燃起對天上神恩的嚮往,
願我們救主的喜樂與平安
傾注在整個世界。
永受頌揚的天主
願讚美和榮耀永遠歸於你,直到永遠。
阿們。

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen.
