In 2025, Peace Sunday will fall on Sunday 19th January and the theme chosen by Pope Francis is ‘Forgive us our trespasses: grant us your peace’.
Announcing the theme, the Vatican said that Pope Francis’ message would be:
‘ inspired in particular by the Encyclical Letters Laudato Sí and Fratelli Tutti, and above all by the concepts of Hope and Forgiveness, which are at the heart of the Jubilee, a time for conversion that calls us not to condemn, but instead to bring about reconciliation and peace.
As usual, Pax Christi in England & Wales have prepared various resources to help all parishes reflect on the pope’s message in their liturgies for this day.
