The Jubilee Year of Hope
Jubilee Year 2025
Be a Pilgrim with Us in the Church's Year of Jubilee
Pope Francis has declared 2025 a Jubilee Year, a sacred tradition in the Catholic Church observed every 25 years, a time of renewal, reconciliation, and pilgrimage.
In a world marked by growing injustice and inequality, we are called to come together in hope. We invite individuals, schools, and communities to journey with us — to experience the joy and strength of faith, to respond to God's call for renewal, and to recommit ourselves to building a more just and compassionate world.
Let this be a time of grace, encounter, and transformation — a true celebration of the Gospel lived in solidarity.
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.
Official prayer from Pope Francis for the Jubilee year 2025, "Pilgrims of hope"
