Announcing the theme, the Vatican said that Pope Francis’ message would be:
‘ inspired in particular by the Encyclical Letters Laudato Sí and Fratelli Tutti, and above all by the concepts of Hope and Forgiveness, which are at the heart of the Jubilee, a time for conversion that calls us not to condemn, but instead to bring about reconciliation and peace.
