The Jubilee of 2025 is a jubilee that will be celebrated in the year 2025. It was announced by Pope John Paul II at the end of the Great Jubilee.[1] This jubilee was preceded by the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy of 2015–2016.[2]
Preparation[edit]
At the close of the 2000 Jubilee, Pope John Paul II spoke to the children of the world, noting that the children and young people of that time would be "the leading players at the next Jubilee in 2025".[3]
On December 26, 2021, Pope Francis entrusted the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization with the task of making preparations for the Jubilee, since he considered it fundamental for the strengthening of Catholicism.[4]
On January 3, 2022, at a meeting held in Rome, it was determined that the motto of the event would be "Pilgrims of Hope".[5] On February 22, the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization called a competition to design the official logo of the 2025 Jubilee, with the main prompt being that the participants base their submissions off of the motto. The Pontifical Council would choose the design which communicated the message the best. The competition was open until May 20,[6] and at the end of June 2022, the official logo was presented.[7]
On the other side, Pope Francis established that 2024 would be the Year of Prayer, to recover the desire to be in the presence of the Lord, to listen to him and worship him. For this purpose, once again the Dicastery for Evangelization prepared a series of eight volumes titled Notes on Prayer and Other Subsidies.
The papal bull of convocation is scheduled to be published on May 9, 2024, coinciding with the Solemnity of the Ascension. It will explain the necessary indications for the celebration of the Jubilee.[8]
