Jubilee of Consecrated Life Thousands of consecrated men and women from around the world came to Rome for the Jubilee of Consecrated Life\u2014a two-day pilgrimage of faith, prayer, and communion that culminated with Mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV in St. Peter\u2019s Square. A Pilgrimage Begins at the Holy Door The Jubilee began with the symbolic passage through the Holy Door. Pilgrims walked in prayer down Via della Conciliazione, heading toward the heart of the Church. Among them were Sisters Guadalupe and Immaculata of the Order of Augustinian Recollects, visiting Rome for the first time. \u201cYes, it’s our first time for this jubilee, it’s our first time and we’re very excited,\u201d Sr. Guadalupe shared. \u201cWell, it\u2019s a beautiful city, and for us Christians,\u201d she added, \u201cit has something very special \u2014 that\u2019s why we\u2019re more than excited and grateful to the Lord.\u201d Pope Leo XIV: Consecrated Life as a Gift to Be Cultivated Pope Leo XIV welcomed the pilgrims and presided over the Eucharistic celebration in St. Peter\u2019s Square. In his homily, reflecting on the Gospel verbs “Ask, seek, knock”, he connected these spiritual invitations with the vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity\u2014emphasizing their foundation in prayerful trust and generous love. \u201cDear brothers and sisters, the Lord, to whom you have given everything, has rewarded you with such beauty and richness, and I would like to urge you to treasure and cultivate what you have received,\u201d the Pope exhorted. A Testimony of Joyful Witness and Daily Prayer For many of the participants, the pilgrimage to Rome was not only a spiritual highlight but also a deeply personal journey. \u201cI\u2019ve found it wonderful because I had never been here before. I love seeing Rome and setting foot in Rome,\u201d said Sr. Immaculata, who comes from Tanzania. Sr. Guadalupe is from Mexico. For both sisters, prayer is not confined to moments of liturgy\u2014it permeates their daily routine, even in the kitchen. \u201cWe dedicate ourselves to making almond cake, and while we\u2019re making it, we also pray, because first of all,\u201d Sr. Immaculata shared, \u201cwe offer it to the Lord through prayer. So, the whole time we\u2019re praying, and even while we work, we\u2019re also entrusting everything to the Lord.\u201d Adapted by Jacob Stein.
