Jubilee 2025 – Pilgrims of Hope

For everyone, may the Jubilee be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, the “door” (cf. Jn 10:7.9) of our salvation, whom the Church is charged to proclaim always, everywhere and to all as “our hope” (1 Tim 1:1). 

~Pope Francis, Spes Non Confundit 1
