​Pope Francis encourages all Christians to bring the love of Jesus to others, even if it means taking a risk,​because in this way we bring hope to those who are most in need of it.

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 

of 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

This prayer was written by Pope Francis and includes foci on the needs of God’s creation as well as humanity.
