Jubilee Door - Year of Hope

"He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives...to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable (Jubilee) year of the Lord!" (Luke 4:18-19)
God in His goodness has given us another year of Jubilee, and that is no small blessing! Jubilees were first celebrated thousands of years ago by God’s chosen people. The celebration of Jubilees by the universal Church dates back to the early 1300’s! That's quite a history!
The account in the book of Leviticus 25:8-55, explains that on the occasion of a jubilee, debts were to be cancelled, slaves were to be set free and property was to be restored to its original owner. Doesn’t that sound good? Doesn’t that sound right? Doesn’t that sound like something a loving Father would do?
​
As wonderful as that was, these jubilees of course were a sign of an even greater reality yet to come; the complete forgiveness, deliverance, redemption and restoration that Jesus accomplished for us through His life, passion, death and resurrection. That’s why, literally speaking, we can say that Jesus is our Jubilee!
Like all jubilees, this jubilee is a BIG deal for God. So it makes sense for it to be a big deal for us! Every one of us must surely have something we long to see God do in our lives, or the lives of loved ones. Have you a need for forgiveness? Do you feel trapped and in need of liberation in some area of your life? Have you been carrying shame or guilt that you long to be freed from? Do you have a need for physical, emotional, or spiritual healing? Whatever your need may be, be assured that the Lord desires to meet it. In fact His desire to do so far exceeds your own desire to have it met. Recall the Lord's revelation to St. Faustina, “I rejoice that souls ask for much, because it is My desire to give much, very much. On the other hand, I am sad when souls ask for little, when they narrow their hearts" (Diary, 1578).
​
There is so much cause for hope, for the joyful anticipation of something good given to us by the Lord. Linda and I are so convinced of that. Perhaps in part because without our realizing it, the Lord began to build up in us anticipation for this jubilee even before we knew there was to be a jubilee! And He did that through a dream.
Do you recall Linda’s Sauternes Dream? She received it on December 21, 2023. We knew immediately that it was a significant dream. But we now see that its significance is considerably greater than we were first capable of understanding, and we’re excited to share with you this deeper meaning.
The first thing worthy of mention is that when this dream was first posted (as reflected in the thumbnail!), Linda had considered calling it, the Open Door dream. Can you intuit why that title is far more significant now than it would have been a year ago!
At that time neither of us were aware that 2025 had been designated a year of Jubilee, which as you know is officially inaugurated when the Vicar of Christ on earth opens an actual DOOR; the Holy Door! (in fact there are four "Holy Doors" in Rome!)
In this particular Jubilee however, the opening of the “Holy Door” in Rome had an additional prophetic significance that many are not aware of! Throughout 2024, numerous Christian leaders who exercise prophetic ministries had spoken a “word” they were hearing from the Lord; that 2024 was to be the year of the “Open Door”.
We find it so amazing to consider that these non-Catholic brothers and sisters, while having no idea that Catholics the world over were to celebrate a year of Jubilee beginning in 2024, were themselves hearing the Lord speak about the “open door”. Consider how spiritually significant the image of an open door is!
As Linda’s Sauternes dream post explains, being guided through an “open door” was an important element in her dream. Walking through that open door was essential if we were to access the "new wine" of the Holy Spirit that God has prepared for us.
More than a full year before the Jubilee Holy Door was to be opened, the Lord gave Linda this dream to begin to prepare us for this year of hope! That's how dearly the Father wants us to receive the fullest possible measure of the graces available through this Jubilee; release from captivity, healing and deliverance from bondage, evil, sickness and oppression! Those graces are available to every single one of us. Behold, the door is open. Step up. Step through. Ask, seek, and knock, for everyone who asks receives! Everyone who seeks finds. But you don't even need to knock...the door is already open!

Jeremiah 32:40, 41, 42
"I will make with [you] and everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to you...I will rejoice in doing you good... with all my heart and all my soul...so I will bring upon you all the good that I promise you, says the Lord!
