"Teach us to Pray", the handbook for the Year of Prayer available online

On the occasion of the Year of Prayer, the Dicastery for Evangelization has made available a handbook to accompany Christian communities and individual believers on the path of preparation for the Jubilee 2025.

The handbook "Teach us to Pray", the title of which is taken from the eleventh chapter of Luke's Gospel (Lk 11:1), is available online and can be downloaded free of charge from the website in digital version. The booklet, inspired by the Magisterium of Pope Francis, is intended to be an invitation to intensify prayer as a personal dialogue with God, to lead one to reflect on one's faith, on one's commitment in today's world, in the different spheres in which one is called to live. It is intended to offer reflections, indications and advice on how to live dialogue with the Lord more fully, in relationship with others. The handbook is composed of sections dedicated to prayer in the parish community an d in the family community, and others dedicated to young people, cloistered communities, catechesis and spiritual retreats.

The text is already available for download in Italian on the Jubilee website: https://www.iubilaeum2025.va/it/giubileo-2025/verso-il-giubileo/2024-anno-della-preghiera/insegnaci-a-pregare.html. Spanish, Portuguese, French, English and Polish versions will also be made available shortly.
