Approved by the Holy See on May 13, 2024 in eight languages, the Mass for the Holy Year may be used in the liturgy for the duration of the Jubilee, celebrated in the dioceses of the United States from December 29, 2024 to December 28, 2025. It contains three formularies, a set of Lectionary readings, five sets of tropes for the Penitential Act, and four sets of introductions, responses, and conclusions for the Universal Prayer (Prayer of the Faithful). The USCCB Secretariat of Divine Worship has prepared PDF resources of the Mass formulary options in English, Spanish, and Latin to facilitate their use:
This Mass may be said with the color proper to the day or the liturgical time whenever special celebrations are held on the occasion of the Holy Year, except on Solemnities, on Sundays and Feasts, on the weekdays of Holy Week, the Sacred Triduum, on days within the Octave of Easter, on the weekdays of Advent from December 17 to December 24 inclusive, on days within the Octave of the Nativity of the Lord, on the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day), and on Ash Wednesday.
A set of readings from Sacred Scripture may be used in the Liturgy of the Word at Mass during Ordinary Time. During the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, the readings of the weekday are used for the Liturgy of the Word.
Although intended to be used with the Mass for the Holy Year, any of the options for Penitential Act tropes or Universal Prayer introductions and conclusions may be used at any Mass throughout the Jubilee Year 2025.
