E’ ormai cominciato il Giubileo della Misericordia indetto da Papa Francesco, che ha preso il via con le celebrazioni solenni svoltesi a Roma lo scorso dicembre.
Questo Giubileo straordinario voluto da Papa Francesco è considerato dagli storici il 65° dei “Giubilei Straordinari”, così chiamati perché indetti dai pontefici in occasione di avvenimenti o momenti ritenuti particolarmente importanti.
Inaugurato l’8 dicembre 2015, l’Anno Santo si concluderà il prossimo 20 novembre 2016.
Inoltre, questo Giubileo presenta un carattere ancor più peculiare: per la prima volta nella storia della Chiesa, infatti, ogni singola diocesi ha avuto la possibilità di aprire una propria Porta Santa. Nel territorio della regione Umbria si contano attualmente 11 Porte Sante, aperte nelle cattedrali locali o in santuari di particolare rilevanza per i pellegrini.
Come spiega monsignor Paolo Giulietti, vescovo ausiliare di Perugia:
“Il Papa vuole che questo giubileo induca a ripensare la vita, l’essere e l’agire della Chiesa. Per questo non è un Giubileo centrato su Roma ma un Giubileo diffuso, perché la Misericordia è nel cuore di ogni Chiesa locale. Da qui la scelta di chiedere a ogni cattedrale di aprire la propria Porta della Misericordia”
Forse non sapevi che —> La Porta Santa è generalmente la porta di una Basilica murata e aperta soltanto in occasione di un Giubileo, per dare ai fedeli che l’attraversano la possibilità di ottenere l’indulgenza plenaria
L’invito di Papa Francesco durante questo anno giubilare è quello di adempiere ai segni stessi della Misericordia: pellegrinaggio, pentimento, preghiera e carità.
I pellegrini potranno dunque fare esperienza piena di misericordia con il cammino a piedi, un momento penitenziale, una preghiera giubilare e un gesto di carità, recandosi nei luoghi santi giubilari e varcando la Porta Santa anche più volte nel corso dell’anno.
Forse non sapevi che —> Il motto dell’Anno Santo “Misericordiosi come il Padre” è tratto da Lc 6,36 e invita appunto a vivere la Misericordia sull’esempio del padre, che chiede di non giudicare o condannare ma di perdonare e donare amore
Vediamo allora dove sono dislocate le porte sante in Umbria:
- Assisi – Porta Santa della Cattedrale di San Rufino
Il 2016 è un anno particolarmente speciale per Assisi, poichè l’Anno Santo della Misericordia coincide con il Giubileo francescano sul Perdono di Assisi (1216 – 2016) che ricorda l’ottavo centenario della richiesta di Francesco alla Porziuncola.
- Cascia e Roccaporena di Cascia – Porte Sante dei santuari di Santa Rita
- Città di Castello – Porta Santa della Cattedrale dei Santi Florido e Amanzio
- Collevalenza – Porta Santa del Santuario di Collevalenza
- Foligno – Porta Santa della Cattedrale di San Feliciano
- Gubbio – Porta Santa della Chiesa di San Francesco
- Montefalco – Porta Santa del Santuario della Madonna della Stella
- Perugia – Porta Santa della Cattedrale di San Lorenzo
- Terni – Porta Santa della Cattedrale Santa Maria Assunta
- Spoleto – Porta Santa del duomo di Spoleto

The Jubilee of Mercy announced by Pope Francesco has started with the saint celebrations in Roma the last December.
This Special Jubilee wanted by the Pope is considered by the historians the 65° of the “Extraordinary Jubilees”, so called because they were organised by the popes for events or during some moments particularly important.
Inaugurated the last 8th December 2015, the Holy Year will end on the next 20 November 2016.
In addiction, this Jubilee has a character even more particular: for the first time in the history of the Church, in fact, each diocese has the opportunity of opening his own Holy Door. In the territory of Umbria there are currently 11 Holy Doors, opened in local cathedrals or sanctuaries of special importance for pilgrims.
As explained Monsignor Paolo Giulietti, auxiliary bishop of Perugia:
“The Pope wants this Jubilee to induce us to rethink the life and the work of the Church. For this reason, it is not a Jubilee centered in Rome but a widespread Jubilee, because the mercy is in the heart of every local Church. From here, the choice of asking to every cathedral to open its Door of Mercy”
Do you know that –> The Holy Door is generally a walled door of a Basilica that is opened only during a Jubilee, to grant to the believers that go through it the plenary indulgence
The Pope’s invitation during this Jubilee Year is to comply with the signs of Mercy: pilgrimage, repentance, prayer and charity.
So the pilgrims will have a complete experience of Mercy with a pilgrimage on foot, a moment of atonement, an holy prayer and a gesture of charity, by reaching the Holy places of the Jubilee and going through an Holy Door even many times during the year.
Do you know that –> the slogan of this Jubilee Year “As merciful as the Father” is taken by Lc 6,36 and it is an invitation to live the Mercy following the example of the Father, who asked to not judge or condemn but to forgive and offer love
Let us see where are located the Holy Doors in Umbria:
- Assisi – Holy Door of the San Rufino Cathedral
2016 is a particularly special year for Assisi, because the Holy Year of Mercy coincides with the Franciscan Jubilee of the Pardon of Assisi (1216 – 2016) that commemorates the 8th anniversary of the request of Saint Francis at the Porziuncola.
- Cascia and Roccaporena di Cascia – Holy Doors of the Sanctuaries of Santa Rita
- Città di Castello – Holy Door of the Santi Florido e Amanzio Cathedral
- Collevalenza – Porta Santa del Santuario di Collevalenza
- Foligno – Holy Door of the San Feliciano Cathedral
- Gubbio – Holy Door of the di San Francesco Church
- Montefalco – Holy Door of the Madonna della Stella Sanctuary
- Perugia – Holy Door of the San Lorenzo Cathedral
- Terni – Holy Door of the Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral
- Spoleto – Holy Door of the Cathedral of Spoleto
