Prayer guides to help prepare for the Jubilee of Priests are now available online

The prayer guide "With Peter and Paul following the Master" prepared for priests in preparation for the Jubilee by the Dicastery for Evangelization can now be downloaded online in six languages.

The guide offers a preparation tool for the celebration of the Jubilee of Priests, which will be held in Rome in June 2025, and is designed to help priests return to the original  foundations of their priestly ministry. The guide is in the form of a series of four celebrations - or stages on the journey - focused on following the apostles Peter and Paul. Tracing the footsteps of those extraordinary men who are the "pillars of the Church" and, in the light of the Church’s magisterium, the aid retraces four key concepts - vocation, the profession of faith, times of trials, and the life of testimony - stages that are found in the life of every man called to the priesthood .

The prayer guide is aimed at diocesan priests, who can meet with their bishop for community celebrations, taking advantage of the suggestions contained in the booklet. But it can also be profitably used by individual priests for moments of personal reflection and prayer. Like all aids, it can be adapted, merged, and reworked according to the needs and circumstances of each community.

The material is available in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Polish and English, and will be a useful tool to support priests on their journey and aid reflection during this Year of Prayer and also during the Jubilee.
