March 21, 2025 – Day Fifteen
Jesus firmly tells us not to be afraid of the upheavals in every period of history, not even in the face of the most serious trials and injustices.
~ Pope Francis
Ponder:
How can I increase Hope in the dark times as well as in the light?
Pray:
God of hope, remind me that you are always with me!
Reflection from Christine Tammadge:
In this Jubilee Year Pope Francis has proclaimed that we are all Pilgrims of Hope.
As people of faith we are assured that Jesus is with us always through times of darkness as well as times of light. If we recognize Him as the giver of Hope we will let Him walk with us, guiding us, and loving us through it all.
As Pope Francis told us, “Jesus will never abandon us.”
We will still have times of suffering but we will be filled with the hope that allows us to see the light at the end of those times. And through the grace of God we will be able to help spread that hope to a world in desperate need of it!
We can pray along with St. Paul who in his letter to the Romans(Romans 15:13) wrote: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
As Christians, our sincere hope is founded in Jesus. He is our strength!
