Pope Francis has released his prayer intention for December, calling on the faithful to pray for a stronger faith to recognize the risen Christ in our lives and to become pilgrims of hope.
“Let us pray that this upcoming Jubilee may strengthen us in our faith, helping us to recognize the Risen Christ in the midst of our lives, transforming us into pilgrims of Christian hope. Christian hope is a gift from God that fills our lives with joy. We have to hold onto the rope of hope, hold on tight. Let us help each other discover this encounter with Christ who gives us life, and let us set out on a journey as pilgrims of hope to celebrate that life. Don’t forget, hope never disappoints.”
