>   2024 Year of Prayer to prepare for Jubilee Year 2025  
Jan to Dec 2024
Pope Francis inaugurated a Year of Prayer ahead of the 2025 Jubilee, calling on the faithful "to pray more fervently to prepare ourselves to live properly this grace-filled event and to experience the power of hope in God.".... to recover the desire to be in the presence of the Lord, to listen to him and worship him. 
The Dicastery for Evangelization prepared a series of eight volumes titled Notes on Prayer and Other Subsidies.  (for bookrack) https://www.iubilaeum2025.va/en/giubileo-2025/verso-il-giubileo/2024-anno-della-preghiera/scopri-quaderni-del-concilio.html

Bishops around the world are asked to designate their cathedrals or other significant churches as special places of pilgrimage and prayer for the Holy Year 2025, the Vatican is not asking them to dedicate and open a "Holy Door" at those churches  “In the course of the year,” Pope Francis writes, “every effort should be made to enable the People of God to participate fully in its proclamation of hope in God’s grace and in the signs that attest to their efficacy.”
