2025 Jubilee Year

Short videos showing quite poignant scenes of opening the Holy Door in Saint Peter's

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.

 

A Jubilee in the Old Testament lasted 50 years so this is significant - the year of hope 2025 may well be very significant prophetically. The world will be a much better and happier place in 2075 by the time God is finished with this generation.

I suspect my grandchildren will be living in a much changed world should they be granted the grace of a long life, they will live to see the era of peace predicted in Fatima.

 

I pray you are right.

 

Apparently you need a QR code to be allowed to pass through the Holy Doors.
I believe and hope that the Vatican will change its mind.

The link below has been translated into English using a website translator. I hope it works.
Can you only get to heaven with a QR code?

 

The prayer for the Jubilee is deep and well composed. I find it to be a beautiful prayer.

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.​

 

Does anyone know if you are not physically able to go to Rome for pilgrimage are there other ways to gain the plenary indulgence?

 

My parish is a designated Holy Year pilgrimage parish. No QR needed.

 

How does a local parish get designated? I wonder if my diocese would have a list. I really would like to participate later in year, God willing.

 

The Archdiocese probably names them. Check that website.

 

Happy to see that my local Marian Shrine is a pilgrimage site in my diocese. ❤️

 

Great!

 

It seems to concern the Holy Doors in Rome.
