Say “Yes” to 30 days of reflection, based on the booklet “What Pope Francis Says About Hope”, Pope Francis’ clear and strong message to be “Pilgrims of Hope and Builders of Peace.”
Every day for the next 30 week days, a new post will be added to the list below. Each post will contain an excerpt from “What Pope Francis Says About Hope”, a reflection from a community member, a question for you to ponder, and prayer for the day. We encourage you to add your thoughts and reflections to the comments section of each day. Email communications@galileecentre.com to request a copy of the 30 Day Booklet or pick up a copy at the Centre.
We also invite you to join us each Friday at 1pm Eastern for a Zoom session time of prayer and conversation. Click here to register for the Zoom sessions. You only need to register once and you will be sent the link each week. Join anytime you are able.
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.”
