Introduction
On the occasion of the Year of Prayer, the Dicastery for Evangelization has drawn up the subsidy “Teach us to pray” (Lk 11,1). This material, inspired by the teaching of Pope Francis, aims to be an invitation to intensify prayer as a personal dialogue with God, which leads to reflection on one’s own faith and commitment in today’s world.
The allowance is available online and can be downloaded for free from the web. It is a resource designed to accompany Christian communities and the faithful on the path of preparation for the 2025 Jubilee.
