On the reflection from 7/11, Larry S offers some words from the late Pope Francis we think are invaluable for this continuing Jubilee year and its theme, Pilgrims of Hope:
Jesus, in you I am never alone, even at difficult moments, even when my life’s journey comes up against problems and obstacles that seem insurmountable, I accompany you, I follow you, but above all I know that you accompany me and carry me on your shoulders. This is my joy; this is my hope that I must bring to the world. Teach me to see with your eyes, to live life as you lived, to understand life as you understood it. Help me to be ready for an encounter with you, which means being able to see the sighs of your presence, keeping my faith alive with prayer and the sacraments, and taking care not to forget about God.
