EXTRAORDINARY
JUBILEE
of
MERCY
The Extraordinary
Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016
Pope Francis, who is moved by the human, social and cultural issues of our times, wished to give the
City of Rome and the Universal Church a special and extraordinary Holy Year of Grace, Mercy and
Peace.
The “Misericordiae VulTus” Bull of indicTion
The Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, which continues to be the programmatic outline for
the pontificate of Pope Francis, offers a meaningful expression of the very essence of the Extraordinary
Jubilee which was announced on 11 April 2015: “The Church has an endless desire to show mercy, the
fruit of its own experience of the power of the Father’s infinite mercy” (EG 24). It is with this desire in
mind that we should re-read the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee, Misericordiae Vultus, in which Pope Francis details the aims of the Holy Year. As we know, the two dates already marked out are 8 December 2015,
the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the day of the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica,
and 20 November 2016, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, which will conclude
the Holy Year. Between these two dates a calendar of celebrations will see many different events take
place.
The Pope wants this Jubilee to be experienced in Rome as well as in local Churches; this brings particular attention to the life of the individual Churches and their needs, so that initiatives are not just additions
to the calendar but rather complementary. In the same way, the Bull of Indiction includes other features
that clearly make this a “one-off”. Already the nod to Mercy breaks with tradition. The history of the Jubilees
is characterised by timeframes of 50 and 25 years. The two extraordinary Jubilees respected the anniversary
of Christ’s redemption (1933, 1983). This, however, is a Jubilee with a theme. Faith will be the main focus
and aims to recall the Church to its primary mission of always being a symbol and witness of Mercy in all
aspects of pastoral life.
Pope Francis’ call to Judaism and Islamism is also significant, in order to bring the theme of Mercy to
the road towards dialogue and an overcoming of the difficulties that are part of the public domain. While
not forgetting another original feature offered by the Missionaries of Mercy. Pope Francis will give them
the Ash Wednesday mandate with a celebration at St. Peter’s. The Missionaries must be patient priests, able
to understand the limits of man, but ready to express the afflatus of the Good Shepherd in their preaching
and in confession. In this context, we do not plan to linger on questions of a general nature but prefer to
provide more details about the organisation of the Holy Year.
The JuBilee logo
We will be starting from the logo, which represents a theological summa of Mercy and the motto that
accompanies it. In the motto, taken from Luke 6:36, Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful, we are asked
1
to be merciful following the example of the Lord who asks us not to judge and not to condemn but to forgive
and give love and forgiveness without measure (Lk 6:37-38). The image is dear to the early Church, as it
shows the Son having taken upon his shoulders the lost soul, demonstrating that it is the love of Christ that
brings to completion the mystery of his incarnation, culminating in redemption. The logo has been designed
so as to express the profound way in which the Good Shepherd touches the flesh of humanity and does so
with a love that has the power to change one’s life. And one particular feature cannot be missed: while the
Good Shepherd, in his great mercy, takes humanity upon himself, his eyes are merged with those of man.
Christ sees with the eyes of Adam, and Adam with the eyes of Christ. So in Christ, every person discovers his
or her own humanity and the future that lies ahead. The scene is set inside a mandorla, another important
shape in ancient and medieval iconography, recalling the coexistence of the two natures, divine and human,
in Christ. The three concentric ovals, which become progressively lighter in colour towards the outside, suggest the movement of Christ who carries man out of the night of sin and death. On the other side, the depth
of the darker colour also suggests the inscrutability of the love of the Father, who forgives all.
The inTerneT siTe: www.iM.Va
The official internet site of the Jubilee has been published: www.iubilaeumMisericordiae.va, also accessible at www.im.va. The site is available in seven languages: Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese,
French, German and Polish. The website includes official information about the calendar of key public
events, indications for participation in events with the Holy Father and all other official communications
relating to the Jubilee. With this tool, the Dioceses will be able to receive information and pastoral suggestions, register to talk about their pilgrimage and communicate diocesan initiatives. Various social networks
are linked to the website (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Plus and Flickr), providing updates about
the initiatives of the Holy Father and allowing you to follow the most important events in real time. We are
also considering the possibility of an app, to better integrate the information.
We are convinced that the path of Mercy on which Pope Francis has set the Church for this journey of
the Jubilee will be a moment of true grace for all Christians and a reawakening to the path of the new evangelization and pastoral conversion that the Pope has indicated. As Pope Francis writes: “In this Jubilee Year,
may the Church echo the word of God that resounds strong and clear as a message and a sign of pardon,
strength, aid, and love. May she never tire of extending mercy, and be ever patient in offering compassion
and comfort.
May the Church become the voice of every man and woman, and repeat confidently without end: «Be
mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old»” (MV 25).

The calendar
The Calendar of celebrations is three-fold. On the one hand, there are events that will undoubtedly be
attended by a great number of people. We wanted the first event, taking place from 19 to 21 January, to be
dedicated to all those operating in the pilgrimage field. A sign to highlight the fact that the Holy Year is a
real pilgrimage and should be experienced as such. We will ask the pilgrims to complete a section on foot,
to prepare to pass through the Holy Door with the spirit of faith and devotion. To instruct those who operate
in this sector to go beyond the tourism sphere is crucial and the fact that they themselves become pilgrims
could be of great help.
We considered it important to bring together the faithful who experience Mercy in a particular way.
For this reason there will be a celebration on 3 April for all those who demonstrate the spirituality of Mercy
(movements, associations, religious institutes). The world of charitable volunteering will, in turn, be celebrated on 4 September. Voluntary work is a concrete sign of those who live the actions of Mercy in its
various expressions and deserves its own celebration. In the same way, we have considered the world of
Marian spirituality that will celebrate the Mother of Mercy on 9 October, while 24 April will see the youngsters, post-confirmation, called upon to declare their faith.
Another event will be reserved to the deacons who, by vocation and ministry, are called upon to lead
generosity in the life of Christian communities: their Jubilee will take place on 29 May. On the 160th anniversary of the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, on 3 June, the Jubilee of Priests will be celebrated. 25
September will mark the Jubilee of the catechists who, with their commitment to spread the faith, support
the life of Christian communities particularly in our parishes. On 12 June we will have the repeal for all
those who are sick or disabled and those who take care of them with love and dedication. On 6 November
we will celebrate the Jubilee of prisoners. This will not just take place in prisons, and we’re considering the
possibility to allow some prisoners to have the chance to celebrate their very own Holy Year with Pope
Francis at St. Peter’s.
A second initiative will take place with Pope Francis making some symbolic gestures, traveling to some
of the existential “peripheries” to demonstrates, in person, the closeness and attention paid to the poor, the
suffering, the marginalised and all those in need of a sign of tenderness. These moments will have symbolic
value, but we will ask bishops and priests to carry out the same gesture as the Pope in communion in their
Dioceses so that everyone can receive a concrete sign of Mercy and proximity to the Church. As a “concrete
sign” of the Pope’s generosity, which will remain as a memory of this Jubilee, an important gesture will be
made in consideration of the needy, demonstrating Mercy through concrete, effective help.
A third initiative is dedicated to the many pilgrims who will arrive in Rome as individuals rather than
as part of an organisation. Certain churches in the historic centre will be identified where the pilgrims will
be welcomed and can experience moments of prayer as they prepare to pass through the Holy Door with
preparation that is more coherent with the spiritual event being celebrated. All pilgrims who will arrive in
Rome will, however, benefit from a dedicated route to reach the Holy Door. This is deemed necessary in
order to ensure that the event is experienced religiously and safely, protected from the threats of unregulated
activity that seems to affect the millions of people arriving at sacred Christian sites each day.

The Pilgrimage to Rome
Even if the Jubilee must, above all, be celebrated and experienced locally, in every Church around the
world, we nevertheless expect that many pilgrims will want to come to Rome to make the pilgrimage
to the Tomb of Peter, passing through the Holy Door of the Basilica, which represents the heart of the
Catholic Church. In order to offer a suitable welcome to every pilgrim who will arrive in Rome, an impressive organisation has been put in place over a very short space of time to develop programmes
and initiatives for the pilgrims, and it will continue in the months to come. All useful information will
be promptly updated and made available on the Jubilee website (www.im.va). Lastly, we outline the
main activities and programmes defined as of now.
PilgriMage To The holy door
To allow the pilgrims to make a true pilgrimage to the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, making
at least part of the journey on foot, a pedestrian walkway has been arranged for the pilgrims to use.
This walkway goes from Castel Sant’Angelo and reaches the Holy Door, along the entire length of
Via della Conciliazione and crossing Piazza Pio XII and St. Peter’s Square. Access to this location is
reserved exclusively for registered pilgrims. All pilgrims who plan to pass through the Holy Door of
St. Peter’s should register their intention to make a pilgrimage, going to the Jubilee of Mercy website
(“Pilgrim Registration” at www.im.va) and entering his/her personal data and contact details, and selecting a pilgrimage date and time. At the entrance points to the dedicated walkway, pilgrims’ registration will be checked, with pilgrims asked to present their booking confirmation issued by the
system.
While pilgrimage to the other papal Basilicas of Rome will not require registration, all four of the Basilicas will nevertheless be staffed by Jubilee Volunteers, ready to help all pilgrims, and by volunteers ready
to assist disabled visitors, and each will be equipped with a first aid station.
The route proposed for pilgrims can be integrated with the service offered by some of the churches in
Rome’s Historic Centre: St. Salvatore at the Laurels, Santa Maria in Vallicella (Chiesa Nuova) and St. John
the Baptist of the Florentines. These three churches will ensure the constant presence of priests who speak
various languages for confessions, opportunities for the Eucharistic Adoration and also, in specific cases,
teaching on mercy to prepare pilgrims to pass through the Holy Door with a spirit of conversion. The three
churches will be linked to the pedestrian walkway towards St. Peter’s.
During the Jubilee, the Italian public authorities also intend to redevelop some of the historic pilgrimage
itineraries, both within Rome (the “Seven churches” by St. Phillip Neri) and towards Rome (Via Francigena,
the Romea and other historic roads), making them accessible and safe.
welcoMing The PilgriMs
The welcome point for the pilgrims, managed by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New
Evangelization, will be open in via della Conciliazione 7 (along the access route to the Basilica) for the du-
5
ration of the Holy Year. In addition to providing the pilgrims with information, it will be the only place
where you can:
1. make a last minute registration (mandatory) to access the route reserved for pilgrims to the Holy
Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, if this has not already been done on the website of the Jubilee;
2. obtain the pilgrim’s certificate of participation, attesting passage through the Holy Door of St. Peter
(different from any other certificate relating to walking pilgrimages through the historic streets);
3. obtain the testimonium which certifies the pilgrim has reached Rome on foot along one of the aforementioned historic streets.
The PilgriM rouTes
The Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi (ORP), Office of the Vicariate of Rome, Organ of the Holy Seat and
the pastoral structure of our Diocese, is tasked by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization with welcoming the pilgrims who come from every Diocese across the world. It collaborates
with the Pontifical Council and the Municipality of Rome to organise pilgrimages to Rome with specialised
guides and transportation for pilgrims. It is at the service of the parishes and other church communities.
The ORP proposes four walking itineraries for Jubilee pilgrims, from St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major
to St. Peter’s and vice versa, in order to give those who are interested the chance to experience the pilgrimage as a “sign that mercy is also a goal to reach and requires dedication and sacrifice” (MV, no. 14).
iTineraries one and Two: “The PaPal walk” - “The walk of Mercy”
This is the route taken for centuries by the Popes, particularly on the occasion of their election. The
route runs from the Basilica of St. John Lateran to St. Peter’s Basilica and vice versa, passing through Via
dei SS. Quattro and reaching the Coliseum, Via dei Fori Imperiali and Mamertine Prison. It continues on to
the Campidoglio, Largo Argentina, Piazza S. Maria sopra Minerva, Piazza Navona all the way to Castel Sant’Angelo and St. Peter’s. There are two variants, one that passes along Via dei Banchi Nuovi (Church of
Santa Maria in Vallicella) and the other along Via dei Coronari (Church of St. Salvatore at the Laurels).
iTinerary Three: “The PilgriMs walk”
This is the traditional route of the pilgrims from the Basilica of St. John Lateran to St. Peter’s Basilica
and vice versa, with the first part, up to Campidoglio, mirroring the Papal Walk before deviating along Via
di S. Paolo alla Regola, the Church and Square of The Most Holy Trinity of the Pilgrims, where tens of thousands of pilgrims were welcomed during Jubilees in the 16th and 17th century, Via Giulia, San Giovanni
dei Fiorentini, Castel Sant’Angelo, right to St. Peter’s.
iTinerary four: “The Mariano walk”
This walk leads from the Basilica of St. Mary Major to St. Peter’s Basilica and vice versa, passing along
Via Urbana, Via Madonna ai Monti, Via Tor dei Conti and Via dei Fori Imperiali as far as Mamertine Prison.
From there it joins up with itineraries 1 and 2 as they all pass through Piazza Navona, where they separate
to reach and then enter St. Peter’s Basilica.
The four routes (see attached map “A”) allow you to go past the three churches of the Jubilee: St. Salvatore at the Laurels, Santa Maria in Vallicella (Chiesa Nuova) and St. John the Baptist of the Florentines,
where priests (Missionaries of Mercy) are always present for confessions and Eucharistic adoration in various
languages.
A smartphone app describes the places and religious, historic and cultural sites seen along the routes,
with particular attention paid to the Churches (opening hours and Holy Mass times) and provides pilgrims
and disabled visitors with useful information in various languages.

St. Peter’s Basilica and the Tomb of the Popes
The centre of Christianity with Peter the Apostle
“You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not overpower it” (MT 16,18)
The words of the Prophecy, the Word of Jesus that has been passed down to us over the centuries, housed
in “living” stone, built as a symbol of Christianity: St. Peter’s Basilica. Built on the humble tomb of the fisherman from Galilee, the Basilica was commissioned by Emperor Constantine around the year 320. It is located
on Vatican Hill, not far from the Circus of Nero, the site on which the first apostle Peter was martyred. Origen
of Alessandria told how, not considering himself worthy of being put on the Cross like his Master, St. Peter
asked to be crucified upside down. Today, on this burial ground is the Papal altar, symbol of the mission of
the Church which is always renewing itself. The Bishop of Rome is in fact Peter’s successor. Today’s Basilica,
built on the site of the Constantine Basilica, is an expression of the volition of the Popes of the Renaissance,
who made use of the works of the greatest artists of the time such as Bramante, Michelangelo, Bernini and
Maderno. Along a path of art, faith and spirituality, the visitor can admire the building’s magnificence, walk
through the naves, visit the chapels and pause to admire the beauty of the many works of art, among which
“La Pietà” by Michelangelo. Visitors must not miss the visit to the tombs of the Popes located in the Vatican
Grottos, where you can stop to pray before the tomb of Peter and those of his successors.

The Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel
Considered some of the most important museums in the world, the Vatican Museums are located within the
Vatican City. An exceptional patrimony, the Museums house artistic masterpieces, commissioned, collected
and protected by Popes over time for the generations to come. The first nucleus of the Vatican Museums
was composed of the sculpture collection of Pope Julius II, Pope from 1503 to 1513, exhibited in the socalled “Cortile delle Statue”, now the “Cortile Ottagono”, while organised art collections accessible to the
public began with the Pontifical Museums and Galleries that date back to the time of Clement XIV and Pio
VI. As well as the immense riches of the artworks, furniture, sculptures and paintings, the Vatican Museums
also include some of the most beautiful rooms of the Vatican Apostolic Palace and the Sistine Chapel. The
Sistine Chapel is known worldwide as the place where the conclave, the plenary meeting of the Cardinals,
elects the new Pope. It takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV, who consecrated the Chapel during a grandiose
ceremony on 15 August 1483, dedicating it to Maria Assunta in Cielo. Later, Julius II, wanting to modify a
part of the decoration, entrusted the task to Michelangelo Buonarroti, who painted the wonderful ceiling
which is now considered the masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance. It was Clement VII who tasked the same
Michelangelo with painting the Last Judgement on the altar wall. The magnificent composition, created between 1536 and 1541, depicts the glorious return of Christ as foretold in the New Testament.

The Vatican Gardens by Minibus with the
Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel
Half of the 44 hectares of land on which the Vatican City stands is taken up by gardens, an oasis of peace
and serenity, rich in artistic treasures and botanical species from all over the world. It was Nicholas III, at
the end of the year 1200, who gave life to the Vatican Gardens, extending the perimeter of the Leonine
walls, inside which there were already vegetable gardens and cultivated land with vineyards and fruit trees.
The gardens were transformed into representative locations for ceremonies but also into corners of tranquillity and peace, where one could enjoy a little silence and quiet time. For this reason, Paul IV commissioned the construction of a small palace in the gardens, far from the Pontifical Palace. Completed by his
successor Pio IV, it took the name of “Villa Pia” or “Casina di Pio IV” and is now the seat of the Pontifical
Academy of Sciences. Over subsequent centuries, the Vatican Gardens were extended and enriched with
the building of fountains, such as that of the Galera di Carlo Maderno. Particularly evocative is the beautiful
reproduction of the Lourdes Grotto, flanked by a row of olive trees, which includes an olive tree that was
brought from the Gethsemane Garden in Jerusalem during the Pontificate of John XXIII.

St. Peter’s Mamertine Prison
Located at the foot of the Campidoglio with an expansive view of the Roman Forum, the Tullianum, the oldest Roman prison, is the place where, according to tradition, the Apostles Peter and Paul were held captive
and spent their last days before their martyrdom. Other famous historical figures were also imprisoned in
Tullianum, known as Mamertine in the Middle Ages, including Vercingetorix, King of the Gauls and Jugurtha, King of Numidia. It is hard to say with certainty when this site lost its function as a prison to become a
place of pilgrimage for early Christians. According to some sources it became a place of worship as early
as the 4th century, when Pope Sylvester I dedicated it to St. Peter in Prison. Today the complex is located
below the Church of St. Joseph, built by the Confraternity of Carpenters from 1597.

The Basilica and Cloister of St. John Lateran
The Holy Stairs and Sancta Sanctorum
The Basilica of St. John Lateran is the oldest Western church. As a result of early wording, it is referred to as
the Mother of all the churches in Rome and the world. It was built during the Pontificate of Pope Miltiades,
between 311 and 314, on a property belonging to the Lateran family, donated to the Pope by Constantine as
a sign of his gratitude to Christ after the victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October
23, 312. The Golden Legend tells how, during the night prior to the battle, an Angel with a cross and the
script “IN HOC SIGNO VINCES”, “in this sign you will win”, appeared to Emperor Constantine in a dream,
with Constantine attributing that sign to the subsequent victory in battle. Shortly after, with the Edict of Milan
of 313, Constantine ended the persecution of Christians and the Lateran Basilica became the shining symbol
of the newly born Church. In the same year, Pope Miltiades administered the Sacrament of Baptism, for the
first time at this site, underlining its importance in the life of a Christian for rebirth into a new life. A papal
residence until the 14th century, after the Avignon controversy the Popes preferred to reside in the Vatican.
The Basilica of St. John is currently the cathedral of the diocese of Rome and the official ecclesiastical seat
of the Bishop of Rome. In 1300, the first Jubilee in history was proclaimed here. Subsequently, during the
Jubilee of 1423, Pope Martin V opened the Holy Door for the first time, a ceremony which was later also extended to the other Roman Basilicas. The immense cultural and spiritual patrimony of this authentic jewel
of Christianity accompanies the visitor through the ancient Basilica of St. John Lateran. For a moment of silence and prayer, one can also access the Cloister, located on the left side of the church. The Lateran Cloister
is all that remains of the great Benedictine monastery that was located between the church and the city walls.
Constructed between 1215 and 1232, it was decorated, according to the Cosmatesque tradition by the Vassalletto family, famous Roman marble workers. Its great splendour can still be admired today.
Located on the east side of the Square, the Holy Stairs are part of what remains of the old Lateran Palace.
Composed of 28 marble steps, it was discovered in the mid 15th century, with the stairs of the Praetorium
of Pilate on which Jesus is said to have walked for questioning before the crucifixion. It was installed in
1586, by order of Pope Sixtus V, to provide access to the papal chapel, the Sancta Sanctorum, so called because of the many reliquaries of Saints and Martyrs that it houses. In the Middle Ages this was considered
the “most sacred place on earth”. Still today, pilgrims access the Sancta Sanctorum by climbing the Holy
Stairs on their knees as a sign of respect and devotion.

In Rome
for the Jubilee
with Pope Francis
Just as Peter was in the early days of the Church, his Successor, the Bishop of Rome, is a
point of reference for Christians all over the world. Together with the Bible and the tradition
of figures famous for the sanctity and spiritual depth of their teachings, the voice of the Pope
and his Mastery make up one of the cornerstones of the church communities’ walk of faith.
Today pilgrims make this visit “ad limina Petri” that, incessant, has characterised every period
of the Christian age.
The duties of the Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi include welcoming and assisting, as the
Church of Rome, visitors of all faiths and cultures who come to discover the spiritual and artistic treasures of Christianity and Roman civilisation in the Eternal City.
Depending on requests, the Incoming Sector will be able to formulate personalised programmes for groups, provide various types of hotels and religious structures at which to stay,
restaurants, cars, coaches, minibuses; guided visits to the main sites of cultural and religious
interest including St. Peter’s Basilica and the Tombs of the Popes, the Vatican Museums, the
Sistine Chapel, the Lateran Complex, Mamertine Prison. The possibility to participate in the
Papal Audience.
