Prayer for the Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi.

14/01/2026

The Vatican has announced a special Jubilee Year to commemorate the Eighth Centenary of the passage of St. Francis of Assisi, inviting Catholics worldwide to renew their commitment to holiness, peace, and evangelical charity. According to the decree, Pope Leo has established the Year of St. Francis to be celebrated from January 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027. During this period, the faithful are encouraged to follow the example of the Saint of Assisi by living lives marked by humility, peace, and witness to the Gospel. The Apostolic Penitentiary has granted a plenary indulgence, under the usual conditions, to those who take part devoutly in the Jubilee celebrations. The initiative is presented as a spiritual continuation of the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025. The Jubilee Year is addressed in a particular way to members of the Franciscan Families, including the First, Second, and Third Orders, as well as institutes and associations inspired by Franciscan spirituality. At the same time, the grace of the Jubilee is extended to all the faithful, including the elderly and the sick, who unite spiritually with the celebrations. The Vatican expressed hope that this Jubilee will inspire renewed charity, peace, and evangelical witness, transforming the fruits of the Holy Year into concrete works of love in today’s world.

Today, within the serene confines of St. Dominic's Community, the brothers came together, along with those who are participating in the come and see program, to officially usher in the Advent season with a reflective Holy Hour with Vespers (evening prayer). This special occasion not only serves as a moment of quiet contemplation and spiritual renewal for those present but also signifies a significant milestone in the church, as today marks the beginning of the new liturgical year on the Catholic calendar. This moment is characterized by an atmosphere of anticipation and preparation, as the community gathers in faith and unity, looking forward to the joyful celebration of Christmas, a time that embodies hope, love, and the promise of Christ’s coming.
