Symphony of prayer and praise
A prayer written for the Year of Prayer.
The Year of Prayer, called by Pope Francis, is an opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with the Lord.
In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year “Pilgrims of Hope”, 2024 has been designated a Year of Prayer by Pope Francis. He asks us all to join in a great “symphony” of prayer, “to renew our desire to be in the presence of the Lord, to listen to him and to adore him."
Here are some resources, offered by CAFOD, for the year.
“Prayer unites us; it makes us brothers and sisters. It is in prayer that our hearts find the strength not to be cold and insensitive in the face of injustice. In prayer, God keeps calling us, opening our hearts to charity. ”
