Pope Francis has chosen for the 59th World Communications Day- 2025, the theme
Share with gentleness the hope that is in your hearts (cf. 1Pt 3:15-16)
The theme of the upcoming World Communications Day draws attention to the fact that today too often communication is violent, aimed at striking and not at establishing the conditions for dialogue. It is therefore necessary to disarm communication, to cleanse it of aggression. From television talk shows to verbal wars on social networks, there is a risk that the prevailing paradigm is that of competition, opposition, and the will to dominate.
For us Christians, hope is a person, and He is Christ. And it is always linked to a community project; when we speak of Christian hope, we cannot disregard a community that lives the message of Jesus in such a credible way as to give a glimpse of the hope that it brings and is capable of communicating the hope of Christ with deeds and words even today.
The WCD theme 2025 resonates with the Jubilee Year of Hope the Pope has announced. The Vatican has scheduled several programs and events for bishops and leaders who work in the area of communication during the Jubilee Year.
