🌍 What is Africa Day?
Africa Day commemorates the founding of the Organization of African Unity on 25 May 1963, now the African Union. It celebrates the rich diversity, unity, and future of Africa.
The 2025 theme focuses on justice and reparation owed to Africa.
From UN Secretary-General (2024):
“On Africa Day, we celebrate this dynamic and diverse continent… Let’s renew our pledge to stand with all Africans in their quest to lead their continent—and our world—into a peaceful and prosperous future.”

🙏 Jubilee Year Prayer (Shortened Version)
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your Son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your kingdom.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever, Amen.
