“Let us not forget that the Our Father is the prayer of the poor.” - Pope Francis

In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year “Pilgrims of Hope”, 2024 has been designated a Year of Prayer by Pope Francis. He asks us all to join in a great “symphony” of prayer, “to renew our desire to be in the presence of the Lord, to listen to him and to adore him."

This reading of the Our Father is spoken in English, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Welsh, Lingala, Tagalog, and Shona. It reminds us that we belong to one global family, and we are all in need of our daily bread.
