For this reason, he asked the following question: “Are we working, each in our own area, so that this city is a sign of hope for those who live in it and for those who visit it?”
For Bishop Fisichella, “it is necessary to prepare and live it in the communities with that spirit of expectation typical of Christian hope,” while ensuring that the Year of Prayer “fully corresponds to this need.”
“This is not a Year with particular initiatives,” he pointed out, “but rather a privileged moment to rediscover the value of prayer, the need for daily prayer in Christian life; how to pray, and above all how to educate people to pray today, in the age of digital culture, so that prayer is effective and fruitful.”
