We are making decisions all the time, big ones and little ones. Choice by choice our lives unfold and reveal our hopes, desires, fears and goals. Though we generally don’t think about it in the thick of daily living, making choices is a discerning process. Using information, reasoning, necessity and opportunity we do what we can and are using our minds to the full. But it is when our minds support our hearts that we live more intentionally. The essays in this book are nudges to invite the leanings of the heart to be central to making conscious and faithful choices and so help us to live our deepest values.
The evening twilight reminds God’s people to prayerfully trust in God. The confidence of those who pray these psalms rests in the God of the covenant, the God who has proven trustworthy in the past and so can be trusted now. We have no reason to fear because the God who was with our ancestors is now with us. These evening psalms help us believe that nothing can take away God’s faithful concern for us, that we can depend on God and look to the future with hope.
The people of ancient Israel taught the world to “awake the dawn” with songs of praise. Jesus himself rose early to begin his days with these morning prayers. While the psalms are two to three thousand years old, they are amazingly contemporary. They have been prayed by the kings and priests of Israel, the apostles of the church, and the whole community of God’s people in the temple, synagogue, monastery, cathedral, chapel, and home. We too may seize the day by beginning with these inspired psalms.

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.
Every year, as tradition dictates, Pope Francis visits the Spanish Steps in Rome to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. On each occasion, he has offered a special prayer to Mary, expressing his devotion and trust in her.
This collection of Pope Francis’s prayers to Mary from the Spanish Steps invites us to rekindle our own devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to place our faith in her intercession.
In this fresh approach to the Stations of the Cross, best-selling author and spiritual leader Fr. David Knight reminds us that hope can be found in the darkest of places and the true power of the crucifixion is the opportunity to transform unimaginable pain and suffering into faith, hope, and love.
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.
This new book by Sr. Melannie Svoboda is intended for people who are curious about God, the natural world, daily life, spirituality—and the inter-play among them.
