On Sunday 21 January 2024, Pope Francis inaugurated the Year of Prayer - a time of preparation for the Jubilee Year of Hope in 2025.

This Year of Prayer is a "'time to discover how to pray and, above all, how to educate the people of today in prayer...'"(Archbishop Fisichella, Vatican News, 23 January 2024).

To help Catholics journey through this Year of Prayer, Pope Francis will set up a "School of Prayer" providing many resources through the Dicastery of Evangelisation. Their hope is that the faithful will be able to understand the different forms of prayer and to "pray more fervently [and be prepared] to live properly this grace-filled event and experience the power of hope in God." (Pope Francis, Vatican News, 23 January 2024).
