The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of
the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within
both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil
vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen

Our Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for

For formation in discernment.
Let us pray that we might again learn how
to discern, to know how to choose paths of
life and reject
everything that leads us away from Christ
and the Gospel.
Let Us Pray For The Sick of the Parish
Dear Jesus, divine physician and healer of
the sick, we turn to you in this time of

Dear God, we place our worries in your
hands. Amen.
