Thoughts to Ponder
Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas.
We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana. Help us to heed your words and do whatever Jesus tells us. Amen.
Prayer for the Jubilee Year 2025 of Hope
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen
Since we receive the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, we too become living Monstrances and we can make Christ visible each day to those we meet by our kind words and deeds.

JUBILEE YEAR OF HOPE
Hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Rom 5:1-2.5).2025 is the Jubilee Holy Year, the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation
of our Lord, an "event of great spiritual, ecclesial, and social significance
in the life of the Church."
The concept of "Jubilee" has its origins in the Book of Leviticus (chapter 25)
as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and coming home.
Pope Francis has designated the 2025 Holy Year as a time to renew ourselves
as "Pilgrims of Hope."
The year of Jubilee is a special period in the Bible when God's people
were to rest and restore their relationship with him and with each other.
It occurred after seven cycles of seven years (49 years in total)
and was proclaimed on the Day of Atonement.
During the year of Jubilee, all debts were forgiven, all slaves were freed,
and all property was returned to its original owner.The year of Jubilee was a reminder that God owns everything and that
his people are to live in justice and mercy.
The 2025 Jubilee Year is a special year in the Catholic Church that
occurs every 25 years. The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope,”
and it will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war,
the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis.
Pope Francis has called for amnesty for prisoners and forgiveness of debts
for poor countries during this Jubilee Year.
Traditionally, the Jubilee begins just before Christmas and ends on
the Epiphany of the following year.
Hope does not disappoint” (Rom 5:5) For everyone, may the Jubilee
be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus,
the “door” (cf. Jn 10:7.9) of our salvation, whom the Church is
charged to proclaim always, everywhere and to all as “our hope” (1 Tim 1:1).
The main theme of this document is Christian hope.
It emphasizes the importance of hope in the Christian faith,
grounded in the belief in eternal life and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The document highlights how this hope provides purpose, direction,
and strength to believers, helping them face life’s challenges
with confidence and trust in God’s love and mercy.
It also discusses the significance of the Jubilee Year as a time
for renewal and deepening of faith, encouraging acts of mercy,
forgiveness, and solidarity with those in need.By his perennial presence in the life of the pilgrim Church, the Holy Spirit illumines all believers with the light of hope. He keeps that light burning, like an ever-burning lamp, to sustain and invigorate our lives.
Christian hope does not deceive or disappoint because it is grounded in the certainty that nothing and no one may ever separate us from God’s love:
“Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or the sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:35.37-39).
Here we see the reason why this hope perseveres in the midst of trials: founded
on faith and nurtured by charity, it enables us to press forward in life.
As Saint Augustine observes: “Whatever our state of life, we cannot live
without these three dispositions of the soul, namely, to believe, to hope and to love”Pilgrimage is of course a fundamental element of every Jubilee event.
Setting out on a journey is traditionally associated with our human quest for
meaning in life.
A pilgrimage on foot is a great aid for rediscovering the value of silence, effort and simplicity of life.Now the time has come for a new Jubilee, when once more the Holy Door will be flung open to invite everyone to an intense experience of the love of God that awakens in hearts the sure hope of salvation in Christ.
The Holy Year will also guide our steps towards yet another fundamental celebration for all Christians: 2033 will mark the two thousandth anniversary of the redemption won by the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
We are about to make a pilgrimage marked by great events, in which the
grace of God precedes and accompanies his people as they press forward
firm in faith, active in charity and steadfast in hope (cf. 1 Thess 1:3)During the Holy Year, may the light of Christian hope illumine every man and woman, as a message of God’s love addressed to all!
And may the Church bear faithful witness to this message in every part of the world!Everyone knows what it is to hope. In the heart of each person, hope dwells as the desire and expectation of good things to come, despite our not knowing what the future may bring. Even so, uncertainty about the future may at times give rise to conflicting feelings, ranging from confident trust to apprehensiveness, from serenity to anxiety, from firm conviction to hesitation and doubt.
Often, we come across people who are discouraged, pessimistic and cynical about the future, as if nothing could possibly bring them happiness. For all of us, may the Jubilee be an opportunity to be renewed in hope.This hope is grounded in God’s love, poured into hearts through the Holy Spirit.
Hope and Love:
Hope is born from the love of Jesus, who reconciled humanity to God through His death.
The Holy Spirit sustains this hope, ensuring that nothing can separate believers from God’s love.
Realism and Patience:
Saint Paul acknowledges life’s trials but sees them as opportunities to develop endurance and character.
Patience, a virtue linked to hope, is essential in a fast-paced world and helps maintain trust in God’s promises.
Journey of Hope:
The Christian life is a journey, with the Jubilee offering moments to renew and sustain hope.
Historical examples of forgiveness and mercy in the Church highlight the importance of pilgrimage and reconciliation.
Continuity of Grace:
The Holy Year of 2025 continues the tradition of past Jubilees, focusing on God’s mercy and love.
The opening of Holy Doors symbolizes an invitation to experience God’s love and salvation. -
Major points on the theme of Hope
Here are the major points on the Theme of Hope as highlighted in the document:
Biblical Foundation: The theme of hope is deeply rooted in the Bible, particularly in the words of the Apostle Paul: “Hope does not disappoint” (Romans 5:5). This verse serves as the cornerstone for the Jubilee Year 2025, emphasizing the enduring and reliable nature of hope in the Christian faith.
Renewal of Hope: The Jubilee aims to renew and strengthen hope in the hearts of believers. It encourages individuals to look beyond current challenges and uncertainties, focusing on the promise of a brighter future through faith.
Personal Encounter with Christ: The document underscores the importance of a personal encounter with Jesus Christ as a source of hope. It invites believers to deepen their relationship with Christ, finding solace and inspiration in His teachings and presence.
Community and Solidarity: Hope is also seen as a communal experience. The document encourages believers to support one another, fostering a sense of solidarity and mutual encouragement. This collective hope can lead to positive change and resilience within communities.
Patience and Perseverance: Linked closely with hope is the virtue of patience. The document calls for a renewed appreciation of patience, especially in a fast-paced world. Patience is seen as essential for maintaining hope and enduring through difficult times.
Signs of Hope in the World: The document identifies various signs of hope in the world, such as the desire for peace, the support of families and young people, and the care for the marginalized. These signs are seen as manifestations of hope in action, inspiring believers to contribute positively to society.
