The Vatican has issued Mass Formularies (three options), Lectionary citations, and petitions
for the Universal Prayer/Prayer of the Faithful, for special Jubilee Masses. These Masses can
be celebrated with limitations.
MASS FORMULARIES
These Masses may be said with the color proper to the day or the liturgical time whenever
special celebrations are held on the occasion of the Holy Year, except on Solemnities, on
Sundays and Feasts, on the weekdays of Holy Week, the Sacred Triduum, on days within the
Octave of Easter, on the weekdays of Advent from December 17 to December 24 inclusive,
on days within the Octave of the Nativity of the Lord, on the Commemoration of All the
Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day), and on Ash Wednesday.
LECTIONARY READINGS
A set of readings from Sacred Scripture may be used in the Liturgy of the Word at Mass
during Ordinary Time. During the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, the
readings of the weekday are used for the Liturgy of the Word.
PENITENTIAL ACT AND UNIVERSAL PRAYER OPTIONS
Although intended to be used with the Mass for the Holy Year, any of the options for
Penitential Act tropes or Universal Prayer introductions and conclusions may be used at any
Mass throughout the Jubilee Year 2025.

Jubilee Year Prayer
A special Jubilee Year Prayer has been prepared, in various languages. Parishes might
consider printing it in the parish Sunday bulletin, or perhaps creating prayer cards for
distribution at Mass.
