Oct 22, 2025 : The Jubilee of Consecrated Life, a two-day celebration of prayer, joy, and gratitude was held in Rome on October 8, 9 - 2025. Thousands of religious sisters and brothers, monks and contemplatives, members of secular institutes, the Ordo Virginum, hermits, and members of “new institutes” from around the world were participated in the Jubilee Pilgrimage dedicated to them.
At the opening of the Holy Door, pilgrims filled Via della Conciliazione, praying together as they walked toward the tomb of the Apostle Peter.
The Jubilee of Consecrated Life culminated in Mass with Pope Leo XIV in St. Peter’s Square. During the Mass , the Pope urged the thousands of religious men and women in attendance to ‘be truly poor, meek, hungry for holiness, merciful’, and ‘pure of heart’. “Ask”, “seek”, and “knock”: three verbs taken from the day’s Gospel reading (Lk 11:9), on which Pope Leo XIV centered his homily.
