Pope Francis Opens Holy Door at Rebibbia Prison | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis’ visit to Rome’s Rebibbia Prison marked a historic moment as he opened the second Holy Door of the Jubilee Year. This special event, held on St. Stephen’s Day, follows the Pope’s earlier opening of the Holy Door at the Vatican Basilica. In a deeply symbolic gesture, Pope Francis walked through the Holy Door at the prison, surrounded by inmates, staff, and volunteers, emphasizing the importance of hope and open hearts. The visit highlighted the Church's mission to reach out to those on the margins of society, offering a message of redemption and compassion. Inmates also presented the Pope with a miniature Holy Door crafted from wood of migrant boats, symbolizing transformation and hope. This event serves as a poignant reminder of the Church’s commitment to those who are suffering and the power of faith to heal and renew.
