“Pilgrims of Hope"

Pope Francis stated in his February 2022 letter announcing the Jubilee 2025: "We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire..."

El próximo Jubileo puede contribuir en gran medida a restablecer un clima de esperanza y confianza, como preludio de la renovación y del renacimiento que tanto deseamos..."
