Pope Francis has declared a Jubilee Year of Hope in 2025
EXCERPT FROM THE LETTER OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE NEW EVANGELIZATION, FOR THE JUBILEE 2025
"We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire; that is why I have chosen as the motto of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope. This will indeed be the case if we are capable of recovering a sense of universal fraternity and refuse to turn a blind eye to the tragedy of rampant poverty that prevents millions of men, women, young people and children from living in a manner worthy of our human dignity. Here I think in particular of the many refugees forced to abandon their native lands. May the voices of the poor be heard throughout this time of preparation for the Jubilee, which is meant to restore access to the fruits of the earth to everyone. As the Bible teaches, “The sabbath of the land shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves and for your hired servant and the sojourner who lives with you; for your cattle also, and for the beasts that are in your land, all its yield shall be for food” (Lev 25:6-7).".
“The Power of One Hour” is a five-part video series, produced by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany and Sheehan Productions.
It’s aimed at enriching the understanding of the Celebration of the Eucharist and was created as a teaching tool for all who share the faith or who want to learn more about the Catholic Mass.
It was made possible by a grant from the USCCB Catholic Communication Campaign.
