Jubilee Year 2025
"Pilgrims of Hope"
Pope Francis has announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee Year.
The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope.”
It will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis.
The Jubilee Prayer
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 your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
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

The Jubilee is a year-long celebration during which we are called to reflect on our faith, renew our commitment to God, and experience His mercy. The Jubilee has been celebrated every 25 years since the year 1300. Each Holy Year has held profound spiritual and social importance for the Church and its followers.
