How are pilgrims of hope different from others?

The Chinese and English communities of Our Lady of the Rosary parish on their pilgrimage to St. Jerome's Church, Tin Shui Wai, on January 1.

We are urged to be pilgrims of hope in the Jubilee Year. What sets the pilgrims of hope apart from others is our reliance on hope as the foundation of our  spiritual journey. Hope is not simply an emotion, but a virtue that strengthens believers to continue moving forward, even when the path is uncertain. Pilgrims of hope trust that no matter how difficult life may become, there is always a brighter future awaiting.

 Through our unwavering trust in God’s promises, they serve as beacons of hope to those around them. In a world that often seems filled with uncertainty, these pilgrims inspire others to carry on with faith, hope, and love.
