This is a Jubilee Year! May the Lord fill you with Hope and many spiritual Blessings in the new year!
And please take time to pray the official prayer of His Holiness Pope Francis for the next Holy Year, a Jubilee Year, with its theme centering on us as “Pilgrims of Hope.”
The Jubilee Prayer
Father in Heaven,
may the faith You have given us
in Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed Hope
for the coming of Your Kingdom.
May Your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new Heaven and a new Earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
Your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of Heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To You our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen.
Indulgences for the Jubilee Year:
Have a wonderful new year blessed with peace, safety, good health and many opportunities to make precious memories with your loved ones.
Happy New Year,
St. Mary’s Staff
