A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Written by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem – Cardinal PierBattista Pizzabella
O most glorious Mother of God,
raised above the choirs of angels,
pray for us with St. Michael the Archangel
and with all the angelic powers of heaven
and with all the saints,
to your most holy
and beloved Son, Our Lord and master.
Obtain for this Holy Land,
for all his children
and for all humanity
the gift of reconciliation and peace.
May your prophecy be fulfilled:
the proud are scattered
in the imaginations of their hearts;
the mighty are overthrown from their thrones,
and finally, the humble are raised;
Let the hungry be filled with good things,
the peaceful be recognized as children of God
and that the meek may receive the earth as a gift.
May Jesus Christ, your Son, grant us this,
He who exalted you today
above the choirs of angels,
who crowned you with the diadem of the kingdom,
and has placed you on the throne of eternal splendour
To him be honour and glory forever. Amen.

JUBILEE PRAYER 2025
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, awaken in us the blessed hope for 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 the new heaven and the 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 forever. Amen.
