#holyyear

That was NOT my goal. I simply wanted to be around movers & shakers. I also wanted to meet new people. Per usual. 🤷🏾‍♀️

This Questions Catholics Ask blog from January: "What exactly is a "Jubilee Year"? What's a "Holy Year"? I hear the Year of Mercy called both," is a great reminder as we celebrate the Jubilee of Youth at World Youth Day, Kraków this week! "The Year of Jubilee is a product of Jewish law as found in Scripture. Every 50th year, the land was to "rest," to lie unused for planting. Mortgage debts were forgiven and slaves were set free. These practices weren't randomly consigned to the Jubilee Year but had a theological agenda: to acknowledge that land, property, and life itself belonged ultimately to God, not to the human user. The term Jubilee was adopted by Catholics in 1300 when the first Holy Year was inaugurated. It too is a year of liberation, though of a spiritual nature. A Holy Year is a time when the pope offers special spiritual privileges, or indulgences, for those who make a pilgrimage to Rome. Other religious activities may be assigned similar benefits during the Holy Year for those unable to travel. The Holy Year was originally intended as a centennial observance. But it came to be observed every 25 years, and additional celebrations between those intervals can be added when deemed helpful."

#yearofmercy #Repost @catholicnewsagency with @repostapp ・・・ For the first time in history, a Pope opens a Holy Door outside of Rome. Here's #PopeFrancis today, Nov. 29 at the Cathedral of Bangui, Central African Republic. On Dec. 8 in Rome and the dioceses of the world, Holy Doors will be opened in St Peter's, cathedrals and shrines. Pope Francis has also said that for those in jails, the entrance to their cells can be considered a Holy Door, as well. Will you make a pilgrimage to a Holy Door during the Year of Mercy?? 🙏🏼🙏🏼💒💒 #popeincar #popeinafrica #pope #jubilee #jubileeofmercy #holydoor #holyyear #yearofmercy #mercy
