Pilgrims of Hope as Easter People
The Easter season is filled with hope. We are called as pilgrims of hope to bear witness of this Truth with fervor and joy in the Resurrection. Some days are easier than others to proclaim such a witness. This day of prayer continues the celebration of our Easter joy, while offering time to deepen our understanding of the virtue hope through scripture, prayer, personal witness and the witness of the Saints. -
