The Year Of Prayer 2024

"I would greatly desire that we devote 2024, the year preceding the Jubilee event, to a great 'symphony' of prayer."

Pope Francis

 

God of Blessings,

in this year ahead,

give us a spirit of listening, 

of openness to your word,

and longing for your kingdom.

 

As we journey towards the Jubilee,

a time of new beginnings,

we pray for help and strength,

to heal our relationships with each other,

and all creation.

 

Sing your song of love over us,

renewing our faith and courage,

so we may join our voices together,

discovering new harmonies of hope,

new melodies of reconciliation.

 

Attentive to the spirit,

and awake to the needs of the world,

may we seek your life-giving presence,

as we join as one global family,

in a great symphony of prayer and praise.

 

Amen
