On December 24, 2024, the pope opened the Vatican’s Holy Door on St. Peter’s Basilica. The news report says that “This will mark the start of the 2025 Jubilee, a year of forgiveness, reconciliation, and spiritual renewal. Catholics who confess their sins during this time receive absolution, freeing them from eternal or spiritual punishment.”
A religious news headline on November 24, 2024, stated that “The significance of Sunday worship for Christians.” It goes on to say that “The tradition of Sunday worship finds its origins in the Bible and early Christian practices. According to the New Testament, Jesus Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday, an event celebrated as the Resurrection. This made Sunday, often referred to as the “Lord’s Day,” a sacred occasion for Christians to gather and commemorate the foundation of their faith.”
Praise the Lord, for we are vindicated not only by our faith in the unerring word of God that Jesus is God, but also by this amazing discovery! Check out this great news:
