Messiah, by George Frideric Handel, is a biblical overview of salvation history. As perhaps the most widely-known musical work in the classical repertoire, it is unique in that the entire oratorio consists of quotations from Scripture, designed to do nothing less than tell the story of the world’s redemption through Jesus the Messiah. Its vast panorama begins with the hope-filled voices of the prophets promising salvation and ends at the doorway of heaven as a chorus of angels celebrates Christ’s accomplishment. Because the words of Messiah are also God’s living word, this study will enhance our understanding of God’s saving plan and move us to receive God’s grace.

In Jubilee 2025, Pope Francis has invited the Church to embark as “Pilgrims of Hope.” This motto for the Jubilee invites every person to make a pilgrimage this year. Some will make physical pilgrimages, but most people will make spiritual ones.

He is the hope of the world, and hope of every life on a pilgrimage to heaven.

Amid all the stresses, concerns, and fears that affect us today, Pope Francis has spoken widely and often about the virtue of hope, the virtue that helps to ground faith and leads to love. The secret, he says, is realizing that hope is already within us. All we need to do is ask God to strengthen hope in us, and we can share that hope
with others.
The thirty reflections in this special Jubilee Year of Hope booklet highlight Pope Francis’ words on hope—how to find it, how to nurture it, how to give it to others. Each reflection contains a question to ponder and a short prayer to spur your own deeper conversation with God.
