The theme chosen by the Holy Father is "Pilgrims of Hope" for the 2025 Jubilee Year. The focus of prayer, called for by the Holy Father, is for a world suffering the impacts of war, poverty, hunger, and the climate crisis. The Jubilee is marked by eight characteristics: Pilgrimage, Holy Door, Reconciliation, Prayer, Liturgies, Profession of Faith, and Indulgences.
