He described this period as one of repentance and grace, offering an opportunity for forgiveness of past sins.He encouraged the community to be aware of prevalent health issues in their regions, to seek preventive measures, and to ensure access to medical care.

Sr. Doreen, a recent member of the Curia who has passed away.He urged Curia members to raise awareness among Christians about the significance of the Jubilee year, emphasizing the importance of valuing the sacrament of confession through catechesis, reconciliation, and penance.
