Jubilee Prayer 2025
The official prayer of the Jubilee 2025, chosen by Pope Francis, is addressed to God the Father, who for Catholics has manifested through the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The intention through the Jubilee is the reunion with the Lord through pilgrimage, prayer, meditation, confession, Eucharist, and acts of kindness. The prayer is a hope for a transformation of hearts, in the perspective of a fruitful life in the teachings of the Gospel, making good use of the “talents” that every baptized person has received.
