2024: Year of Prayer

On Sunday, January 21, 2024 after the angelus the Holy Father announced a Year of Prayer:

“The coming months will lead us to the opening of the Holy Door, with which we will begin the Jubilee. I ask you to intensify your prayer to prepare us to live well this event of grace, and to experience the strength of God’s hope. Therefore, today we begin the Year of Prayer; that is, a year dedicated to rediscovering the great value and absolute need for prayer in personal life, in the life of the Church, and in the world. We will also be helped by the resources that the Dicastery for Evangelization will make available.”

Yes, prayer is something we know how to do, yet it is also something we can always strengthen.  May this year help us to deepen our own prayer life as we encourage and nurture the prayer lives of our families and friends. Resources from the Vatican for this Year of Prayer will be available soon.
