He also answers the following question from the faithful:
“I heard at Mass that Pope Francis declared 2025 as a jubilee year for the whole church. I remember the Jubilee in 2000 fondly and traveled to Rome that year on pilgrimage. But I cannot travel overseas this time, and I imagine there are others in my situation. How can I mark the year to come?”
