[Ottawa – CNS] — The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has issued a two-page “Note on Prayer” for the Jubilee of Hope.
The note, written by the bishops’ Commission for Doctrine, outlines characteristics and forms of Christian prayer, and concludes by sharing prayer resources, compiled by the bishops’ Ad hoc Committee for the Jubilee.
Published as part of the CCCB’s ongoing efforts to encourage spiritual renewal during the jubilee year, the document invites the faithful to rediscover the heart of Christian life through prayer.
It offers a reflection on how prayer connects believers more deeply with God and one another, and emphasizes that prayer is rooted in trust and hope.
This resource forms part of a wider national initiative to encourage participation in the jubilee, proclaimed by Pope Francis for 2025.
