During his Wednesday General Audience, Pope Francis encourages the faithful to engage in a 'symphony of prayer' by praying the Psalms, as Jesus did. Pope Francis greets people during his weekly general audience in the San Damaso Courtyard of the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican CNS photo/Paul Haring)"It is necessary to make the Psalms our prayer, making them ours and praying with them," urged Pope Francis during his Wednesday General Audience in the Vatican.
The Pope had begun by recalling that in preparation for the 2025 Jubilee, he had proclaimed 2024 a Year of Prayer."With today’s catechesis," he therefore explained,"I would like to recall that the Church already possesses a symphony of prayer, whose composer is the Holy Spirit, and it is the Book of Psalms."
"What most commends the Psalms to our attention is that they were the prayer of Jesus, Mary, the Apostles and all the Christian generations that have preceded us."When we recite them, the Holy Father explained,"God listens to them with that grandiose “orchestration” that is the community of saints." Since they are prayers “for all seasons,” he said,"there is no state of mind or need that does not find in them the best words to be transformed into prayer." Unlike other prayers, the Pope stated, they do not lose their effectiveness by being repeated, but,"on the contrary, they increase it."
