The Pope underlined the importance of prayer in personal life, church life and the world. In the next few months the Holy Door will be opened, marking the beginning of the Jubilee. Pope Francis urged the faithful to strengthen their prayers to seek a deeper relationship with God and prepare for the next experience of grace. The Vatican Dicastery for Evangelization will make resources available to help Catholic communities actively participate in the Year of Prayer.
The Press Office of the Holy See has announced a press conference on January 23 on the Year of Prayer. It will reveal more details and information about the initiatives.
In his address, the Pope said the Year of Prayer, which begins on January 21, will be “a year dedicated to rediscovering the great value and absolute necessity of prayer in the personal life of each one, in the life of the Church and in the world”. “I ask you to strengthen your prayers to equip us to live well this event of grace and experience the power of God’s hope. That is why today we begin a year of prayer.” Papa explained.
