Hope, the theme for the Jubilee of 2025, opens the door to a certain evangelical realism. There is today a great need for hope, because this new culture we live in causes people to experience fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. This can lead to feelings of desperation if people are not properly supported. Humanity needs to hear a message that restores the certainty of true hope.
Jubilee of Hope is an invitation to be strong in a faith that supports hope. 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.
To live the Jubilee year well, we must delve deeper into the virtue of hope and foster hope for the pastoral renewal of our communities.
