Welcome to the Jubilee 2025 celebration where Pope Francis delivered a powerful message to communicators and journalists at the Paul VI Hall on January 25. Instead of reading from his prepared speech, the Pope chose to speak spontaneously, emphasizing the profound human and spiritual value of communication.
Francis described communication as an act of reaching out to others, stating that “knowing how to communicate is a great wisdom.” He expressed gratitude to information professionals for their role in creating a more cohesive society and their contribution to the Church’s mission.
The Pontiff emphasized the importance of truthfulness in communication, both in words and personal lives, promoting integrity between speech and actions. He also highlighted the power of communication for the common good, emphasizing the need to build bridges and foster mutual understanding.
Although he didn’t read his prepared speech, it was handed over for later dissemination. This gesture reflects the Pope’s desire for authentic dialogue with the audience.
This event is part of the Jubilee celebrations, a time for spiritual renewal and community action that encourages Christians to reflect on their role in the modern world.
The Pope’s message serves as a reminder of the responsibility communicators have in seeking truth and promoting communication that unites, inspires, and transforms.
