With each passing day, we are inching closer to the celebration of a Jubilee Year in 2025, with the theme of “Pilgrims of Hope.” As I have mentioned here previously, in preparation for the Jubilee Year, Pope Francis is asking Catholics to prepare by dedicating time in the following manner:

  • 2023: Study the documents of the Second Vatican Council.
  • 2024: Focus on prayer.

To assist with a study of the documents of the Second Vatican Council, I have found some good, solid, user-friendly video introductions to each of the four major constitutions of Vatican II, courtesy of the Diocese of Phoenix, AZ. Each runs four to eight minutes in length.

Hopefully, these video introductions will inspire you to study further!
