Extraordinary Jubilee & The Global Holy Year Of Mercy

[Gabbanelli911]

What exactly happens on an Extraordinary Jubillee year? What about “holy doors?” I read that in America there is only one “holy door” and is located in Quebec, Canada? Do we have to make a pilgrimage there? Does it help to do a pilgrimage? What’s the purpose of a holy door?

Any author such as Scott Hahn, Michael Barber, etc., writing a book about this coming Jubilee Year? I’m a little confused, and would like to take full advantage of this coming Jubilee Year.

Thanks for your comments.

That doesn’t sound very merciful. :nope:

Misericordiae Vultus

On the following Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent, the Holy Door of the Cathedral of Rome – that is, the Basilica of Saint John Lateran – will be opened. In the following weeks, the Holy Doors of the other Papal Basilicas will be opened. On the same Sunday, I will announce that in every local church, at the cathedral
– the mother church of the faithful in any particular area – or, alternatively, at the co-cathedral or another church of special significance, a Door of Mercy will be opened for the duration of the Holy Year. At the discretion of the local ordinary, a similar door may be opened at any
shrine frequented by large groups of pilgrims, since visits to these holy sites are so often grace-filled moments, as people discover a path to conversion. Every Particular Church, therefore, will be directly involved in living out this Holy Year as an extraordinary moment of grace and spiritual renewal. Thus the Jubilee will be celebrated both in Rome and in the Particular Churches as a visible sign of the Church’s universal communion.
