The Year of the Jubilee 2025
Pilgrims of Hope
2025 is the Jubilee Holy Year, the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of our Lord, an "event of great spiritual, ecclesial, and social significance in the life of the Church." The concept of "Jubilee" has its origins in the Book of Leviticus (chapter 25) as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and coming home. Pope Francis has designated the 2025 Holy Year as a time to renew ourselves as "Pilgrims of Hope." (Source: USCCB)
The Jubilee Year is a special year of grace, in which the Church offers the faithful the possibility of obtaining a plenary indulgence. Bishop Edward C. Malesic has designated ten locations as Sacred Sites and places of pilgrimage in the Diocese of Cleveland at which the plenary indulgence may be obtained:
• Cathedral of St. John The Evangelist, Cleveland
• Immaculate Conception Parish, Madison
• Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, Lorain
• Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine, Euclid
• Queen of Heaven Parish, Uniontown
• Queen of the Holy Rosary Shrine, Parma Heights
• Shrine of Saint Ann, Highland Heights
• St. Colette Parish, Brunswick
• St. Edward Parish, Ashland
• St. Mary Parish, Chardon
An indulgence, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, is “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints (1471).” “An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin.” Indulgences may be applied to the living or the dead. In short, although we receive forgiveness for sins through the sacrament of Reconciliation, further purification is needed.
Here are the basic elements to receive an indulgence: In addition to being truly repentant and desiring the indulgence, the faithful are to go to confession, attend Mass, pray for the Pope and his intentions, and also complete one of the following:
• Undertake a pious pilgrimage to a Sacred Site: devoutly participate in Holy Mass, anointing of the sick, celebration of the Word of God, Liturgy of the Hours, the Way of the Cross, the Marian Rosary, or penitential celebration.
• Visit a Sacred Site: engage in Eucharistic adoration and meditation, concluding with the Our Father, the Profession of Faith, and the invocations to Mary, Mother of God.
• Participate in: a mission, spiritual exercises or formation activities on the documents of the Second Vatican Council and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, held in a church or other suitable place.
• Participate in works of mercy and penance: the corporal or spiritual works of mercy, visiting the sick and imprisoned, feeding the hungry, welcoming the migrant, observing the penitential nature of Friday, etc.. (Source: The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland)
