**A mobilization is underway in the religious world and beyond in preparation for the 2025 Jubilee.**The Roman Catholic Church has long since begun preparations. Millions of people are organizing to make some kind of pilgrimage to Rome, whether secular or religious. The interests of those involved are high. The questions raised are many. What does “jubilee” mean in history and what does this “holy year” mean today? What are the stakes of “jubilee” for those who claim to be believers? What message can it have for our society? In this short ebook, pastor Leonardo De Chirico explores the Biblical foundations for jubilee, the current Roman Catholic practice in 2025, and how we can experience the true and greater jubilee offered by God’s grace.
