The Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy is In Progress Well … first things first. What is so unusual about a Jubilee Year?

We’ve seen several special “years” in the Church. (You may remember the Year of Faith in 2012–13.)

But an Extraordinary Jubilee is, as the name implies, something special.

The tradi-on of “jubilee” has its roots in the Old Testament, where the People of Israel would,

every fi2y years, were to remember God’s mercy for them and that they were to extend mercy and for-

giveness to others (not only for slights against them, but even monetary debts). All hurts were re-

quired to be forgo7en and never thought (or brought up again). As the people would want God to for-

give and forget … so it would be the same with the People of Israel. This tradi-on has con-nued in the

Catholic Church, where every 25 years a jubilee (or holy year) is called. The most recent was the Jubilee

Year 2000 to mark the beginning of the new millennium. An extraordinary jubilee occurs outside that

normal 25 year cycle and is called to direct our a7en-on to a par-cular event or theme.

Why Pope Francis call for this Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy?

“Here, then, is the reason for the Jubilee: because this is the -me for mercy. It is the favorable -me to heal

wounds, a -me not to be weary of mee-ng all those who are wai-ng to see and to touch with their hands the signs of the

closeness of God, a -me to offer everyone, everyone, the way of forgiveness and reconcilia-on.” (Divine Mercy Sunday,

2015)

Our days can o2en be filled with experiences of division between friends and strangers, family and co-workers, and

even within our Church. This spiritual cancer , of course, necessarily translates and reflects our “Chris-an World”. More

than ever our world needs mercy today, as seen in the frightening events of mass shoo-ngs and terrorism, war and rumors

of war, and the incredible and unprecedented plight of millions of refugees from the war-torn Middle East. Our own coun-

try seems more polarized and divided than ever over the most fundamental ques-ons of life, family, and freedom.

Pope Francis has called us to step back, to recollect ourselves and consider God’s work of mercy in our own lives …

how He has extended forgiveness to us and blessings for us … and … in return … how we have and might s-ll offer mercy

and kindness to others.

Over the course of the Holy Year of Mercy, let’s use this space to offer sugges-ons for how we can seek mercy for

ourselves and our loved ones and offer mercy to others. A good start is the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. We’ll

be expanding on the meaning of those works of mercy as well as other ways to live out the Jubilee of Mercy.

“A sense of deep communion with the rest

of nature cannot be real if our hearts lack

tenderness, compassion and concern for

our fellow human beings. It is clearly incon-

sistent to combat trafficking in endangered

species while remaining completely indiffer-

ent to human trafficking, unconcerned

about the poor, or undertaking to destroy

another human being deemed unwanted.

This compromises the very meaning of our

struggle for the sake of the environment.
