Greetings to all from Liturgy Brisbane.
This edition of LitEd is devoted to the Jubilee Year 2025: Pilgrims of Hope.
In front of the Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, on 9 May 2024, Pope Francis delivered his papal bull Spes Non Confundit (Hope Does Not Disappoint) declaring that 2025 would be a year of Jubilee. The Holy Door was opened on 24 December 2024, and will close on 6 January 2026.
A Year of Jubilee is a special time for remission of sins and universal pardon. It is a time of pilgrimage, reconciliation and spiritual renewal that occurs every 25 years. In special cases, the Pope may call for an extraordinary year of Jubilee. This occurred in 2016 when Pope Francis announced a Holy Year of Mercy, to highlight the Catholic Church's mission to be a witness of mercy which is "the beating heart of the Gospel".
This issue of LitEd provides a list of key resources to help parishes and individuals to celebrate the Jubilee Year 2025, as well as offering some articles and video footage that provide key insights on the Jubilee Year.
The theme for the 2025 Jubilee year has been incorporated into the National Liturgy and Liturgical Music Conference to be held in Adelaide from
1-3 October 2025. The Conference is entitled Pilgrims of Hope: Transformed Through Sacrament & Song. Registrations will open in early February, but in the meantime there is an important 'Save the Date' announcement below. All are very welcome!!
Blessings and best wishes from all of us.
