Pope Leo XIV concluded the Jubilee Year of Hope by closing the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica, marking the end of a spiritually significant period that drew over 33 million pilgrims to Rome. In his closing remarks, the Pope expressed gratitude to partners who contributed to making Rome welcoming and emphasized the importance of kindness towards foreigners. He urged Christians to reject the distorted economy of profit and consumerism, while advocating for peace and service to humanity. The event highlighted the need for unity in the Church and an ongoing commitment to support the marginalized. As the faithful reflect on the experiences gained during this Jubilee, preparations are already underway for a special jubilee in 2033, commemorating Jesus’ death and resurrection.
