The Year of Prayer
The Year of Prayer in preparation for the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025 offers a valuable opportunity for preparing and deepening our understanding of the true meaning of the Eucharist. To fully experience this great mystery an appropriate inclination and dis-position of heart and mind is necessary each time we approach the Eucharist.
The small, as well as the major, daily decisions help the faithful to be more aware of what is being celebrated at Mass and, therefore, greater awareness and participation at the Eucharistic table will help them grow by enabling them to be an increasingly credible and authentic witness, becoming more effectively the: Salt of the earth and light of the world (Mt 5:13-16).
Our Father,hallowed be Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
