This is the intention of Pope Francis for the month of December 2024

Pope Francis asks the faithful to pray especially during the month of December for the pilgrims participating in the Jubilee of Hope 2025.

In the video with the prayer intention for the month of December released today by the Pope’s World Prayer Network, the Pontiff points out that “Christian hope is a gift from God that fills our lives with joy. And today, we need it so much. “The world needs her so much!” he exclaims.

“When you don’t know if tomorrow you will be able to feed your children, or if what you are studying will allow you to have a decent job, it is easy to become discouraged. Where to look for hope?” asks the Pontiff in the video.

In this context, remember that “hope is an anchor” and we have to be “clinging to the rope of hope. “Hold on.”

“Let us help each other to discover this encounter with Christ who gives us life and let us set out as pilgrims of hope to celebrate life,” he emphasizes.

Pope Francis also invites us to fill our daily lives “with the gift that God gives us of hope,” allowing it to “reach through us to all who seek it.” “Don’t forget: hope never disappoints,” he remarks.

Finally, he encourages us to pray that the next Jubilee “strengthens us in faith, helps us recognize the risen Christ in the midst of our lives, and transforms us into pilgrims of Christian hope.”
