Pope Francis kicks off the Jubilee Year with a new cycle of catechesis centered on Jesus Christ. The first section explores Jesus' childhood, drawing from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
With the opening of the Holy Door less than 6 days away, Pope Francis holds his weekly General Audience and begins the cycle of catechesis that will mark the entire Jubilee Year , focusing on' Jesus Christ , our hope.' The situation in Mayotte “apocalyptic’, says Secours Catholique Pope Francis venerates the relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, which will be present in Rome all throughout the Jubilee.
With the countdown to the Jubilee winding down, Pope Francis began a new cycle of catechesis specifically inspired by the Holy Year.In light of the new focus for the catechesis of the General Audiences, the Pope described Jesus as “the goal of our pilgrimage, and He Himself is the way, the path to follow.' This new cycle will be broken down into different parts, beginning with the childhood of Jesus, inspired by the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Reflecting on these Gospels, the Pope explained they “recall the messianic prophecies” fulfilled with the birth of Jesus and his lineage throughout the Old Testament. While both evangelists present the infancy and childhood of Jesus, there is one unique difference. “Luke tells the events from the perspective of Mary,” Pope Francis described. “Matthew does so from the perspective of Joseph, emphasizing a fatherhood that is so unique.”The Gospel of Matthew begins by tracing Jesus' genealogy from Abraham to Joseph and Mary. It becomes a list of names that are “meant to show the truth of history and the truth of human life.” The climax of the ancestry of Jesus is his birth as “everything ends and flourishes in Mary and Christ.” Listing all the names demonstrates the “truth of human life passing from one generation to the next.” Each name signifies a new chapter. Each name “encapsulates a unique identity and mission; membership in a family and a people; and, finally, the faith adherence to the God of Israel
