Reflections as we Journey through Jubilee Year 2025


How can we each open our hearts to the spirit of Jubilee 
and participate in this ongoing year of favour?

We need to open up our hearts, set aside cynicism and criticism. We need to embrace the Jubilee year with a spirit of childlike trust, just as Jesus says, because the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like children.

The gifts of the Jubilee are forgiveness, freedom, family and fullness.

For forgiveness, the Jubilee year is a great time to practice forgiveness in our own families, in our own circles of acquaintances

Regarding freedom, we should appreciate the sacrament of reconciliation and make more frequent use of it.

The Jubilee year is a great time for us to work on our relationships within our families, especially for parents.

There’s a great practice of having a Jubilee Day as a family where you make it clear that your children can come to you and tell you anything and there will be no consequences for it.

Fullness is the idea of learning to trust in God’s providing for us.
