Jubilee
of Mercy: The countdown
(Vatican
Radio) It’s just over a week until the beginning of the Jubilee of Mercy when
Pope Francis will open the Holy Door at St Peter’s Basilica.
This
extraordinary year was kick-started on Sunday when the Holy Father opened the
Holy Door in Bangui on his visit to the Central African Republic.
One
of the unique ideas of this Jubilee is that, for the first time Holy Doors will
be opened in every diocese throughout the world, located for the most part in a
Cathedral.
So
what else can we expect from this great event in the life of the Church?
In
this, the first of a four part interview taking us through key aspects of the
Jubilee Year, Fr Eugene Silva, English language official at the Pontifical
Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization looks at the Pope’s
intentions for this Year of Mercy, the importance of the year for the local
Church around the world and the emphasis placed on the Sacrament of
Reconciliation.
The
Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization has been charged
with organizing the Holy Year of Mercy which officially opens on December 8th and
closes Nov 20th 2016, the Feast of Christ the King.
