In keeping with similar actions in Rome by Pope Francis, a
proclamation was read explaining the terms of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Dressed
in rose vestments on Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent,
marking the joyful expectation of Christmas, the pope began the ceremony
outside the basilica in front of the bronze holy door.
The church and the people of God are called to be joyful, the pope said in his brief homily. But he said: "We can't let ourselves be overcome by weariness".
