THE ARETE Cfje |?ear of Jubilee N Ascension Thursday, 1924, Pope Pius the Eleventh, to the great joy and reverent delight of Christians throughout the whole world, proclaimed to the Faithful that during the year of 1925 a Jubilee of the Catholic Church would be observed. Not since 1900 has the year of profuse indulgences and rich blessings been solemnized in the Church, and the pontifical decision to revive the sacred occasion was accorded an enthusiastic acclaim by those who are privileged to partake of its glorious benefits. The Jubilee year is a comparatively recent innovation in the history of our Church, when one considers the centuries and centuries in which Catholic history has been made, but still among the customs of the world it assumes a remarkable age. In 1299 Pope Boniface the Eighth, assuming the initiative, declared that the first year of the following century would be an era of extreme piety and great opportunity for all Christians. Pilgrimages to the Eternal City were numerous, and all who conformed to certain conditions enumerated by the Pope, and who observed the ceremonies appointed by him, received a Plenary Indulgence for their fervor and ardent devotion. The Pope later decreed that the Jubilee, its fruits having been so abundant and of such satisfaction to him, should subsequently be a centennial custom, and that thus Christians of many epochs would be afforded the same advantages as those of his own Pontificate had received. Shortly this time was decreased and finally the Jubilee came to be celebrated every quarter century. The marvelous indulgences and spiritual consolations which accrue to the participants in the Jubilee are unsurpassed by any bestowed through ceremonies of the Church. During the entire year plenary indulgences are merited by those who make the pilgrimage to Rome and fulfil the requirements prescribed. But these are not restricted to the actual pilgrims; anyone who, because of inability to travel to the Holy City, is obliged to remain at home, need not relinquish all hopes of the rewards offered, but can receive them by complying with certain requisite conditions which are publicly made known by the Bishop of his ow'n diocese. In fact every Catholic who displays fitting gravity and commensurate reverence of mental attitude, whether or not he actually travels to Rome, can reap the inestimable harvest of blessings by observing the ceremonies writh devout and pious motives. The unique and rare advantages which we are offered by this Jubilee are potent; it is apparent that not until its next observance shall we be afforded the opportunities which at the present we can utilize to such spiritual value. It is highly desirable that as many Catholics as is possible, and the number is enormous, realize the worth of this chance whose acceptance means such betterment to themselves; it is to be hoped that everyone derive some practical aid from the year; for merely upon the realization of these w'ishes does the possibly infinite success of this year of Jubilee depend. seven Doyle.
