“Note on Prayer” for the Jubilee Year of Hope

Monday, June 23, 2025

The CCCB Episcopal Commission for Doctrine has developed a brief, two-page Note on Prayer for this Jubilee Year of Hope. The Note outlines some characteristics and forms of Christian prayer, and concludes by sharing a list of resources compiled by the CCCB Ad hoc Committee for the Jubilee.

Published as part of the CCCB’s ongoing efforts to encourage spiritual renewal during this special year, the Note on Prayer invites all the faithful to rediscover the heart of Christian life through prayer. It offers a concise reflection on how prayer connects believers more deeply with God and with one another, and emphasizes that prayer is rooted in trust and hope.

This resource forms part of a wider national initiative to encourage participation in the Jubilee, proclaimed by Pope Francis for 2025 under the theme Pilgrims of Hope. The Note on Prayer is now available online in English and French.
