WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
THE EXTRAORDINARY <\/b><\/span>
HOLY JUBILEE YEAR<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

The Holy Jubilee<\/span> is a special year called by the church for remission of sins and universal pardon. It’s also called the ‘Holy Year of Mercy<\/span>‘ and it has generally been celebrated every 25 or 50 years, with extraordinary Jubilees in addition from time to time. Last Jubilee Year was celebrated in 2000 and the following Holy Year began on December 8, 2015 and it concludes on November 20, 2016.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Pope Francis<\/span><\/b> announced this Extraordinary Jubilee <\/span><\/b>has the mercy of God at its center, one of the most important themes of his papacy. It will be a Year of Mercy in which faithful make pilgrimages to Rome<\/span><\/a><\/b>. The Pope is convinced that \u00abthe whole church, that has much need to receive mercy because we are all sinners, will find in this Jubilee the joy to rediscover and render fruitful the mercy of God, with which we are all called to give consolation to every man and woman of our time<\/i>\u00bb. <\/span><\/div>\n


This year’s motto is \u201cMerciful like the Father<\/span><\/b><\/i>\u201d, taken from the Gospel of Luke. According to Pope Francis, \u00abmercy is the very foundation of the Church\u2019s life<\/i>\u00bb, it is \u00abthe beating heart of the Gospel<\/i>\u00bb and \u00abthe Church\u2019s very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love<\/i>\u00bb. <\/span><\/p>\n

How can Catholics be forgiven for all their sins? <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
