The Jubilee of the World of Communications will be held from Friday, January 24, to Sunday, January 26, 2025, where professionals in journalism, broadcasting, and digital media are gathering to discuss the role of communication in spreading the Gospel and promoting unity.
Spiritual ReflectionWe have a pressing need in the Church for communication that kindles hearts, that is balm on wounds and that shines light on the journey of our brothers and sisters. I dream of an ecclesial communication that knows how to let itself be guided by the Holy Spirit, gentle and at the same time, prophetic, that knows how to find new ways and means for the wonderful proclamation it is called to deliver in the third millennium. A communication which puts the relationship with God and one's neighbor, especially the neediest, at the center and which knows how to light the fire of faith rather than preserve the ashes of a self-referential identity. A form of communication founded on humility in listening and parrhesia in speaking, which never separates truth from charity.
