Letter of Pope Francis with indications about the Jubilee of Mercy
The Lamb of God, symbol of comfort and hope, donated by Pope Francis to a delegation of ten people and then distributed to all the participants at the Jubilee Prayer Vigil “To Dry the Tears” held in Saint Peter’s Basilica.
This image represents the Agnus Dei, that is, the Paschal Lamb who was victorious over the death suffered on the altar of the cross. He is surrounded by the Latin text of the verse “And God will dry every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 7:17).

'I have decided to announce an Extraordinary Jubilee which has at its centre the mercy of God. It will be a Holy Year of Mercy. We want to live in the light of the word of the Lord: “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful” (cf. Lk 6:36). And this especially applies to confessors! So much mercy!
This Holy Year will commence on the next Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and will conclude on Sunday, 20 November 2016, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe and living face of the Father's mercy.'
