As pilgrims prepare for the 2025 Jubilee, a priest, a tour guide and a theologian reflect on what the Holy Year means to them.Starting this Christmas Eve, the Eternal City will open its gates to an estimated 35 million pilgrims for the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope.
For Kerekes, making a pilgrimage is vital to faith education, allowing for an ultimate close encounter with God that young people may not be able to access at home. “Living in the turmoil of the world you were meant to live in for your salvation – this is what God has chosen for you,” he said. “So I tell young people, don’t be afraid to give Him everything.”At Saint Patrick’s American Parish in Rome, preparations are underway to welcome a 2025 influx of Anglophone tourists. Along with Americans, Saint Patrick’s welcomes regulars from Australia, Kenya, Ghana, and Singapore.
Reflecting on the theme of hope, Father Berrios pinpointed Catholic spirituality as one that calls on adherents to “be the light of the world,” harnessing their faith for the greater good. “Pilgrimage is a space where you reinforce this idea of coming together so that when you go back home, you really take something new with you,” saysa writer and theologian from Guinea Bissau. “This is especially true for us Africans because we know that the most important part of life is togetherness.”
