Praying to be Pilgrims of Hope

 The Jubilee Year, with its theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” has just ended. In his papal bull announcing the Jubilee, Pope Francis invited the faithful to embrace hope, calling it “a virtue which must be sourced above all in the grace of God and in the fullness of His mercy.”

How can we, as this Jubilee Year ends, continue to embrace hope? For some, this might seem difficult. Financial woes, polarization in nations and in the Church and personal problems – with our health, in our family, at the workplace- can overwhelm us. Sometimes despair seems like the most rational response to the realities of life. But despair never comes from God. Hope always does.

We might think of the story of the Holy Family. We can imagine Joseph and Mary, even as recipients of astonishing graces, worrying. Mary, of course, was graced with the conception if Jesus. Joseph was graced with a dream. But as they journeyed to Bethlehem , and later to Egypt, there must have been moments when they said, “How can this work?”

What enables them to hope is the confidence that “the grace of God” is with them. Sometimes all it takes to move from despair to hope is noticing signs of God’s presence – and remembering times in the past when things looked bleak, but we survived. Mary and Joseph were pilgrims of hope. We can be too.     James Martin, S.J.

Be yourself! Everyone else is taken.
