Spanish term or phrase: ganar el jubileo
This is what pilgrims can do when they go to a site that has been granted the Jubilee Year. They can "ganar el jubileo" in the ways listed in the sentence...any ideas?

Para cada cosa existe su momento y para ganar el jubileo hay que participar en alguna celebración en el Santuario de la Vera Cruz, recitar una oración por la paz del mundo o participar de la confesión sacramental y la comunión eucarística.

Biblibal understanding
Now, half a millennium later, at a time when presumably a more balanced biblical understanding of the doctrine of "Justification" by all Christians has resulted in the ecumenical signing of a "Joint declaration" on the matter by both Catholics and Lutherans (Augsburg, 31 October 1999), it is significant that the Holy Father has seen fit to reaffirm the full Magisterial teaching on the subject of both indulgences and the treasury of the Church as the rationale of the Millennial Jubilee cele-brations.

It is because the Church has a treasury of merits at its disposal that the Pope can decree that a specific, simple action like a visit to the diocesan cathedral or other specified church during the Jubilee Year can earn a plenary indulgence. Indeed, the basis of the doctrine and such praxis is the Apostolic belief in the reality of the Communion of Saints.

The Church's awareness of the spiritual solidarity of all the Baptised, living and dead, which this "Communion" represents, together with a keen sense of its apostolic authority "to bind and loose", resulted in development of spiritual reparation practices commuting the severity of the canonical penances for sins committed after Baptism, which were commonly imposed in the early Church.

Conscious of the Divine Mercy of God, Pope Paul VI taught: "God's only-begotten Son has won a treasure for the militant Church; he has entrusted it to blessed Peter, the key- bearer of heaven, and to his successors, who are Christ's vicars on earth, so that they may distribute it to the faithful for their salvation.
