Let us pray for this Jubilee Year 2025

Message, 25. October 2000:

“Dear children! Today I desire to open my motherly heart to you and to call you all to pray for my intentions. I desire to renew prayer with you and to call you to fast which I desire to offer to my Son Jesus for the coming of a new time – a time of spring. In this Jubilee year many hearts have opened to me and the Church is being renewed in the Spirit. I rejoice with you and I thank God for this gift; and you, little children, I call to pray, pray, pray – until prayer becomes a joy for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Prayer:

Prayer for the Jubilee Holy Year (Pope Francis)

“Father, who art in heaven,
 grant that the faith you have given us
 in your Son Jesus Christ, our brother,
 and the flame of love
 poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
 may renew in us the blessed hope
 for the coming of your Kingdom.
 Make us worthy of your grace to be
 caring stewards of the Gospel seed
 which will give growth to humanity and all creation,
 while we confidently await
 a new heaven and a new earth,
 and that, after victory over the forces of evil,
 your glory may be revealed forever.
 We ask that the grace of the Jubilee
 may revive in us, pilgrims of hope,
 a longing for heavenly goods,
 and that it may pour out upon the entire world
 the joy and peace of our Redeemer.
 To you, eternal and blessed God,
 be glory and thanks forever and ever.
 Amen.”
