Welcome to the latest blog post! Today, we are diving into the recent visit of the Pontiff to Rome. The Holy Father was warmly welcomed by Cardinal Baldassare Reina, the Vicar General of His Holiness for the Diocese of Rome, and the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri. Together, they led prayers and hymns in honor of the Blessed Virgin, surrounded by the faithful and those tuning in through various media channels.
During the ceremony, the Pope offered a floral tribute, engaged in prayer, and shared a brief invocation. He spoke about the upcoming Ordinary Jubilee of 2025, which is set to begin in just 16 days. The Pope emphasized that this Jubilee will serve as a beacon of hope for humanity amidst crises and conflicts. He commended the ongoing preparations in Rome for this significant event, highlighting the importance of internal reflection and spiritual growth.
In a touching prayer, the Holy Father addressed the Immaculate Virgin, expressing gratitude for her guidance and wisdom. He acknowledged the physical transformations happening in Rome for the Jubilee but reminded us that true preparation lies within our hearts and relationships.
The Pope’s prayer resonates with the core message of the Jubilee – a time for spiritual renewal, forgiveness, and liberation. As we gear up for the Jubilee of 2025, let us prioritize the “works of the soul” and open our hearts to welcome the Lord.
