Hi, I'm Dr. Scott Hahn, and I want to welcome you to our Road to O'Mayas podcast here in the St. Paul Center Studios.

I want to also welcome my good friend, Rob Corzine, who teams up with me

on this podcast. Rob, how are you doing? Doing great. It's a delight to be here as always.

Why don't you introduce the subject of today's episode? Oh, well, okay. The subject, I think,

came up because of the coming Jubilee year and at our priest conference,

you chose to look back to the last Jubilee year and the preparation for it that Pope St.

John Paul II gave us in his encyclical Deiast Domini on the day of the Lord.

And so what you were sharing with the priests, we, uh, we thought

would be really worthwhile to share with everybody and to, to sort of unpack their riches in,

in this encyclical, which it hasn't gone stale by our all of a sudden really recovering the sense of Sunday as the

day of the Lord and the day of the church and the day of the Eucharist and a mini Easter

and the sort of epitome of the experience of the disciples on the road to Amas.

So I think it's still very fresh.

Yeah. That was a very positive way of introducing my hidden agenda. Okay, so we all know that at the end of

24, we began the Jubilee, 25 years since the Great Jubilee of the year 2000. And there was a lot of

advance work preparing us for that Jubilee in 2000. There wasn't nearly as much. And I would say

there wasn't nearly enough preparation to explain to folks, okay, what is a jubilee besides a year where you try to schedule

a pilgrimage to Rome and or a CC, you know, and all of that, in a year where you're going to

see crowds, the likes of which you might never see again in your lifetime.

We're going to see it in a couple of weeks.

My wife and I are leading a St. Paul Center pilgrimage there the first week of Lent. Yeah. In March? Yeah, so March 7th. We'll leave.

We'll do a few days in Rome and then Monte Cassino and out to Petrol Chena and then end up in Assisi.
