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.

The Holy Father’s 

March Prayer Intention

THAT BROKEN FAMILIES MIGHT DISCOVER THE CURE FOR THEIR WOUNDS THROUGH FORGIVENESS, REDISCOVERING EACH OTHER'SGIFRTS, EVEN IN THEIR DIFFERENCES

Good Father,
 
You wanted Your Son to be born into a family, a space of love and support
where the Savior "grew and became strong."
 
Today, we bring before You all families torn by division and crisis, asking that You open spaces for them to communicate heart to heart, learning the difficult art of reconciliation.
 
May the Heart of Your Son Jesus reveal to them the good news hidden in the crisis,
helping them to fine-tune the ear of their hearts and moving them to embrace forgiveness.
 
Breathe Your Spirit upon them so that with the support of grace and the accompaniment of family and friends,
they can give a new "yes" that makes it possible for love to be reborn in them strengthened, transfigured, matured, and illuminated. Amen.
