Hope is truly a lifesaver! Whether we have struggled through a world-wide pandemic, are dealing with seemingly hopeless diagnoses, losses, family troubles, or whatever else that might have caused us to become tempted to give up on hope, we should realize that God is certainly the foundation of our every hope. He will forever be. We need to continue to hope in His loving promises. He will never leave us! And He gifted us with the most eminent gift ever — His own Mother!
This book presents many reasons for hope in our world today through the lens of Our Mother Mary and some of her apparitions around the world. Join Our Blessed Mother, "Our Life, Our Sweetness, and Our Hope" on an inspiring journey to coincide with the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope.
Let's learn from and become inspired by the great pilgrims of hope who have gone before us (and those still with us): Jesus, Mary, St. Joseph, and the saints!. Let us pray to encounter our Lord Jesus Christ in a more profound way, becoming pilgrims of hope in our weary world!
Pope Francis encourages us in this time of jubilee: "Let us lift up our hearts to Christ, and become singers of hope in a world marked by too much despair. By our actions, our words, the decisions we make each day, our patient efforts to sow seeds of beauty and kindness wherever we find ourselves, we want to sing of hope, so that its melody can touch the heartstrings of humanity and reawaken in every heart the joy and the courage to embrace life to the full."
Yes, we can do this — during the Jubilee Year and beyond! Mother Mary will help us! Our world thirsts for hope. Let us carry the torch!
