As we walk through this sacred season of Lent, we are invited to embark on a spiritual pilgrimage—one of hope, renewal, and deep trust in God’s mercy. This series, inspired by the Jubilee Year of Hope inaugurated by Pope Francis, calls us to journey as pilgrims of hope, anchored in faith and strengthened by the promise of Christ’s resurrection.

Each week, we will reflect on one of these psalms, beginning with Psalm 130, the powerful cry of the soul that yearns for God’s mercy:

“Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord, hear my voice!”

This psalm speaks to the human experience of suffering, the deep longing for redemption, and the unwavering hope in God’s faithfulness.

This Lent, let us embrace our calling as pilgrims of hope, carrying the light of Christ into a world in need of His mercy and love. Through prayer, reflection, and a deepened commitment to our faith, may we journey together toward Easter, where the dawn of resurrection renews all things.

Join us on this pilgrimage of faith and hope:
