Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.
Christ became for us obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name that is above every name.
Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.
Luke 22:14-23:56
The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.
....N. It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said,
✠ Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!
N. And having said this he breathed his last....
We adore You O Christ and we Praise You because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the World

Jubilee 2025 - Pilgrims of Hope
The 2025 Jubilee officially opened on December 24, 2024 with the rite of Opening of the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter by the Holy Father.
Link to Jubilee website: Jubilee 2025 https://www.iubilaeum2025.va/en.html
I will be adding further information and reflections on the Holy Year as we get into 2025.
The Year of the Jubilee-
Unpacking the Jubilee - Justice, trust and memory
The theology of Jubilee is clearly focused on justice, trust and memory.
God is the creator of the universe and he freed Israel from slavery in Egypt and gave them the land freely. The Israelites should keep remembering this and continue to liberate their own enslaved people. As God is also the owner of the land rather than the people, it was not their right to privatise and commodify it at the expense of the poor. They were to trust God to provide for their immediate needs and for the future of their families. And the rich were to treat creditors fairly and to expect that they would still yield an adequate return.
Psalm 112:5 is clear about how we should conduct our relationships here: “It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice.”
So poverty and debt-slavery, which might keep a Jew under bondage for ever, had to be avoided at all costs. However, we know that this was often ignored which is why the message of Jesus throughout the gospels and of Paul, consistently demands equality and freedom among all peoples before God in both the private home and the public square.

The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in or hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen
