2025 JUBILEE YEAR
The Holy Father has announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee
Year, something which happens every 25 years. The theme for
Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope,” and it will be a year of hope
for a world suering the impacts of war, the ongoing eects of
COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis.
Jubilees have biblical roots, as the Mosaic era established
jubilee years to be held every 50 years for the freeing of slaves
and forgiveness of debts as manifestations of God’s mercy.
The practice was reestablished in 1300 by Pope Boniface
VIII, who, inspired by his predecessor Pope Celestine V’s
“Jubilee” in L’Aquila six years prior, issued a bull of indulgence
proclaiming that Christians who confessed their sins, received
the Eucharist, and made a pilgrimage to Rome could receive a
plenary indulgence — a grace granted by the Catholic Church
through the merits of Jesus Christ to remove the temporal
punishment due to sin.
The Holy Door is one of the essential parts of a jubilee year.
The special doors, found at St. Peter’s Basilica and Rome’s
three other papal basilicas, are sealed from the inside and only
opened to walk through during the holy year.
The Jubilee Year will run from the opening of the Holy Door in
St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, on Tuesday 24 December 2024 to
the Feast of Epiphany 2026. The great tradition of opening the
Holy Door will begin when Pope Francis opens the Holy Door of
St. Peter’s Basilica on December 24, 2024. Other holy doors will
be opened at the Rome basilicas of St. John Lateran, St. Mary
Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls. Archbishop Bernard is
set to celebrate Mass for the Solemn Opening of the Year, at St
Chad’s Cathedral on Sunday 29 December 2024.
Pope Francis stated in his February 2022 letter announcing the
Jubilee 2025: “We must fan the ame of hope that has been
given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty
by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart
and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute
greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to
the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire...”
The goal of the Jubilee “is to give an experience of the mercy and
love of God,” the Vatican’s chief Jubilee organizer, Archbishop
Rino Fisichella, told EWTN News in May. “I hope that all pilgrims
coming to Rome or celebrating the Jubilee in their own local
Church can have this kind of experience:
God loves me.”
2025 JUBILEE YEAR PRAYER
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son,
Jesus Christ, our brother, and the ame 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 forever.
Amen

Stepping Out to Act
Lord of all life, look with compassion on your people, as we wait
and watch in hope, as we yearn and long for change.
Timeless and ever-living God, grant us patience and
perseverance, for we cannot always see the end.
Now is the time, now is the hour, to act with generosity, wisdom
and understanding.
May we set our hearts towards your love, and our minds towards
your will, as we step out with courage along the paths of peace,
and the ways of justice. We ask this in the name of your Son,
our brother Jesus Christ, Amen.
Symphony Of Prayer and Praise:
A Prayer for the Year of Prayer
God of blessings, in this year ahead, give us a spirit of listening,
of openness to your word and longing for your kingdom.
As we journey toward the Jubilee, a time of new beginnings,
we pray for help and strength, to heal our relationships with
each other and all creation. Sing your song of love over us,
renewing our faith and courage, so we may join our voices
together, discovering new harmonies of hope, new melodies of
reconciliation Attentive to the Spirit, and awake to the needs of
the world, may we seek your life-giving presence, as we join
as one global family, in a great symphony of prayer and praise.
Amen.
Trumpets Herald Change
Open our lives to the cry of the trumpet sounding the birth of
the new. Open our minds to the blast of the trumpet calling all
slaves to break free. Open our hands to take hold of the music
breaking the shackles that bind. Open our hearts to the Jubilee
promise leading our actions and dreams. In the holiness of the
moment be with us. In the stillness of the dance hold my hand.
Prayer: Linda Jones/CAFOD
How to Obtain a Plenary Indulgence
During the 2025 Jubilee
A plenary indulgence is a grace granted by the Catholic Church
through the merits of Jesus Christ to remove the temporal
punishment due to sin.
The Vatican issued a decree on Monday outlining the many
ways that Catholics can obtain a plenary indulgence during the
2025 Jubilee Year.
The decree signed on May 13 by Cardinal Angelo De Donatis,
the new head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, provides Catholics
with the opportunity to gain indulgences by making pilgrimages,
prayerful visits to specic churches, or by practicing works of
mercy during the holy year.
A plenary indulgence is a grace granted by the Catholic Church
through the merits of Jesus Christ to remove the temporal
punishment due to sin.
The indulgence applies to sins already forgiven. A plenary
indulgence cleanses the soul as if the person had just been
baptized. Plenary indulgences obtained during the Jubilee Year
can also be applied to souls in purgatory with the possibility of
obtaining two plenary indulgences for the deceased in one day,
according to the Apostolic Penitentiary.
To obtain an indulgence, the usual conditions of detachment
from all sin, sacramental confession, holy Communion, and
prayer for the intentions of the pope must be met. (See end of
article for more on this.)
Here are some of the many ways one can obtain indulgences
during the 2025 Jubilee Year:
In order to obtain any of the plenary indulgences listed
above, the following conditions must be fullled:
1. Detachment from all sin, even venial.
2. Sacramental confession, holy Communion, and prayer for the
intentions of the pope. These three conditions can be fullled
a few days before or after performing the works to gain the
indulgence, but it is appropriate that Communion and the prayer
take place on the same day that the work is completed.
A single sacramental confession is sucient for several
plenary indulgences, but frequent sacramental confession is
encouraged in order to obtain the grace of deeper conversion
and purity of heart.
For each plenary indulgence that is sought, however, a separate
holy Communion and a separate prayer for the intentions of the
Holy Father are required.
The prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father is left up to the
choice of the individual, but an Our Father and Hail Mary are
suggested.

Make a Pilgrimage to Rome
Catholics who make a pilgrimage to Rome during the 2025
Jubilee Year can obtain a plenary indulgence by visiting at least
one of the four major papal basilicas: St. Peter’s Basilica, the
Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, or St. Paul
Outside the Walls.
In addition, an indulgence can be obtained by spending time in
prayer in several other churches in Rome:
Rome’s Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem
Basilica of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls
Basilica of St. Sebastian
Sanctuary of Divine Love (the “Divino Amore”)
Church of the Holy Spirit in Sassia
Church of St. Paul at Tre Fontane (the site of St. Paul’s
martyrdom)
The Roman Catacombs
The Apostolic Penitentiary also grants a plenary indulgences
specically for making pilgrimage to churches in Rome
connected to great female saints:
Basilica of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva (tomb of St. Catherine
of Siena)
St. Brigid at Campo de’ Fiori (St. Brigid of Sweden)
Santa Maria della Vittoria (St. Teresa of Ávila)
Trinità dei Monti (St. Thérèse of Liseux)
Basilica of St. Cecilia in Trastevere (St. Cecilia)

Perform Works of Mercy
The jubilee year is a time when Catholics are especially
encouraged to practice the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
The Apostolic Penitentiary lists visiting prisoners, spending
time with lonely elderly people, aiding the sick or disabled,
and helping those who are in need as instances to obtain an
indulgence. Practicing the works of mercy, it says, is “in a sense
making a pilgrimage to Christ present in them.”
Indulgences for works of mercy can be received multiple times
throughout the jubilee year, even daily, according to the decree.
If the indulgence is being applied to the deceased, two plenary
indulgences can be obtained on the same day.
The decree says: “Despite the rule that only one plenary
indulgence can be obtained per day, the faithful who have
carried out an act of charity on behalf of the souls in purgatory,
if they receive holy Communion a second time that day, can
obtain the plenary indulgence twice on the same day, applicable
only to the deceased.”
Fast from social media, defend life, volunteer
Acts of penance can also obtain a plenary indulgence. The
Vatican lists several options, including:
Abstaining for at least one day a week from “futile distractions,”
such as social media or television
Fasting
Donating “a proportionate sum of money to the poor”
Supporting religious or social works, especially in the defense
of life in all phases
Oering support to migrants, the elderly, the poor, young people
in diculty, and abandoned children
