Print“For pilgrims of hope” is the prayer intention chosen by Pope Francis for the month of December. It is a special invitation within the context of the upcoming Jubilee 2025. For this reason, the Pope asks us to “pray that this upcoming Jubilee strengthen us in our faith, helping us to recognize the Risen Christ in the midst of our lives, transforming us into pilgrims of Christian hope.”
The Pope invites us to be pilgrims of hope in a world that “needs it a lot,” and that “through us, let us allow it to reach everyone who is looking for it.”
“Hope,” Pope Francis says, “is an anchor – an anchor that you cast over with a rope to be moored on the shore. We have to hold onto the rope of hope.”
