By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan
Prior to the death of Pope Francis, the Archdiocese of New York had already planned to be in Rome for a pilgrimage for the Holy Year, the 2025 Jubilee.
In his video today, Cardinal Dolan explains the significance of the Holy Doors at the four main Basilicas in Rome, which are St. Peter, St. Paul, St. John Lateran, and St. Mary Major.
Observed on the Second Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday -- which in 2025 falls on April 27 -- was established in 2000 by St. John Paul II during his canonization of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, a 20th-century Polish mystic.

“Por esta razón, un grupo de personas pobres y necesitadas estará presente el sábado 26 de abril en la escalinata de la Basílica Papal de Santa María la Mayor para dar el último adiós al Papa Francisco antes del entierro de su féretro”, dijo el comunicado.
