Blessing for the Roman Catholic Jubilee Year 2025
God of Infinite Love and Mercy,
You who call all people to reconciliation, renewal, and liberation,
we come before You in this Jubilee Year,
grateful for the journey of faith that has brought us here.
Bless this sacred time,
a season of healing for wounds long borne,
a season of hope for voices long silenced,
and a season of justice for lives long oppressed.
Pour out Your Spirit upon Your Church,
that we may become a living witness of Your inclusive love.
Renew within us the courage to embrace diversity,
the wisdom to listen to the marginalized,
and the humility to seek forgiveness for our failures.
As we open wide the doors of Your mercy,
may our communities become havens of welcome for all—
the poor and the wealthy,
the stranger and the neighbor,
the joyful and the brokenhearted.
Guide us as we walk in solidarity with creation,
to honor the dignity of every person,
and to labor for peace in a divided world.
May this Jubilee Year be a sign of Your Kin-dom,
where justice and mercy kiss,
where truth and compassion embrace,
and where all are invited to the banquet of life.
Through You, the breath of renewal,
we make this prayer with faith and joy.
Amen.
