Jubilee 2025 – Pilgrims of Hope

“Christian hope is precisely this “something greater”, which should spur us to set out “with haste”. As disciples of the Lord, we are called to find our greater hope in him, and then, without delay, carry that hope with us, as pilgrims of light amid the darkness of this world…Sisters and brothers, this is the Jubilee. This is the season of hope in which we are invited to rediscover the joy of meeting the Lord. The Jubilee calls us to spiritual renewal and commits us to the transformation of our world, so that this year may truly become a time of jubilation…All of us have received the gift and task of bringing hope wherever hope has been lost.To bring hope there, to sow hope there…The Jubilee has now opened so that all people may receive hope, the hope of the Gospel, the hope of love and hope of forgiveness.” (Homily of Pope Francis, opening of the Holy Door and the Holy Mass on the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, St. Peter’s Basilica, Tuesday, 24 Dicember 2024)

“Today we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord, aware that in his presence nothing stays the same. This marks the beginning of hope…The Holy Door of this Basilica, which today is the last to be closed, has seen a stream of innumerable men and women, pilgrims of hope, journeying toward the new Jerusalem, the city whose doors are always open (cf. Rev 21:25)…Millions of them crossed the threshold of the Church.  They are the people who sense the need to go out and search, accepting the risks associated with their journey, especially in a troubled world like ours that may be unpleasant and dangerous in many ways.

Thus, dear brothers and sisters, it is wonderful to become pilgrims of hope. It is wonderful for us to continue to be pilgrims together! The faithfulness of God continues to amaze us.  Mary, Star of the Morning, will always walk before us!” (Homily of Pope Leo XIV, closing of the Holy Door and the Holy Mass on the Solemnity of the Ephiphany of the Lord, St. Peter’s Basilica, Tuesday, 6 January 2026)
