Hope and help for the spiritual battle
Even a cursory read of the Gospels illuminates the struggle between Jesus Christ and Satan from the very beginning of the Lord’s advent into human history. Even as a newborn child, Jesus is perceived as a threat by King Herod who seeks to destroy Him. Immediately after His Baptism, Jesus experiences the temptations of the devil in the wilderness.

The Jubilee Indulgence
A key part of a Jubilee celebration is the opportunity to gain an indulgence, which is “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the actions of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints” (CCC 1471).
