2025 Jubilee Proclaimed a Special Holy Year of Grace & Forgiveness | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis has officially proclaimed the 2025 Jubilee, announcing a special Holy Year of Grace and Forgiveness. In preparation for the upcoming celebration, the Holy Father encouraged all Christians to "be tangible signs of hope for those experiencing hardships of any kind." The papal bull, titled "Spes Non Confudit," meaning "Hope Does Not Disappoint," declares that the Holy Year will officially begin on Christmas Eve 2024, when the pontiff will open the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica. This is an ancient tradition which dates back to the year 1300. For over 500 years, the Church has proclaimed Jubilees every 25 years so that every person could experience a Holy Year at least once in their lifetime.
