I Edmund - In my Sixties (1822-1832)Aug 28, 2024
June 1, 1822: I have lived 60 years as of today and now I enter my 61st. I’m not the man I once was in Callan, but I’m not yet the person that God is calling me to be. These are desperate times. We live in a broken world, but with each movement of the Spirit I sense a glimmer of hope. None more than in the classrooms where my Brothers are making Christ known in and through all that they do.
A Jubilee or Holy Year is a year that the Pope convokes periodically since 1300.
It is a year of forgiveness and reconciliation, in which people are invited to come back into right relationship with God, along with other important milestones for the Catholic Church.
The theme for the Jubilee Year in 2025 is "Pilgrims of Hope" and will begin on December 24, 2024. It marks the hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic and climate crisis.
