JUBILEE YEAR IN THE WORK OF THE CHURCH -INDULGENCE-

On the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the Pontifical Approval of The Work of the Church, the Apostolic Penitentiary has granted the gift of PLENARY INDULGENCE to all the faithful who, in a true spirit of penance and moved by charity, may visit in a form of Pilgrimage any sacred place entrusted to The Work of the Church, and there may devoutly participate in the Jubilee rites, or may remain there for a significant period of time in pious prayer.

ALL OF CHRIST’S LIFE IS A MYSTERY DEVOID OF COMFORT

The soul that is not understood cannot be consoled. Your soul, O my Christ, a mystery and a wonder of divine love, because it is the soul of the Word, has an incomprehensible capacity for us as regards love and pain, which on earth has never been embraced nor will it ever be. And since the soul is consoled insofar as it is understood, that part of the soul of Christ that remains not understood receives no comfort either; and, since His capacity exceeds almost infinitely ours, that mysterious, profound and transcendent part, to which we will never be able to reach out, remains comfortless, and that is why: “I looked for comforters, but I found none.”
