A Year of Hope - How to live the Jubilee Year
Joannie Watson posts on IntegratedCatholicLife with some helpful tips for this Jubilee Year
"Perhaps none of us dared to put “hope” on our Christmas list this year. But maybe we should have. On December 24, Pope Francis will begin the 25th ordinary Jubilee by opening the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The theme for this Holy Year is Pilgrims of Hope.

His whole pontificate was marked with language that propelled us forward to that Holy Year and that moment when he would open the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica. His very first homily as Pope encouraged us to “open wide the doors for Christ.”
