The Holy Year 2025, proclaimed by Pope Francis as the Ordinary Jubilee Year, is a moment of grace and renewal for the universal Church. With the theme ‘Pilgrims of Hope,’ this Jubilee invites the faithful to rekindle their faith, embrace solidarity, and reflect deeply on their journey toward salvation. As the Church in India prepares to celebrate this momentous occasion, it is vital to explore its significance in the unique context of our nation.

 

For the Church today, an Ordinary Jubilee is not merely a commemoration but an active call to conversion, reconciliation, and living as authentic witnesses of the Gospel. In India, where diverse cultures and religions coexist, this Jubilee is a chance to reflect on our role as pilgrims of hope amidst challenges and opportunities.
