Pocket Book of Hope

Where do you find hope in the world today? In this inspiring book, a dozen Catholic writers from different walks of life reflect on where they find hope in their work and in their lives, despite the many challenges and crises that surround us.

As we embrace the Jubilee Year 2025, whose theme is “Pilgrims of Hope,” we can all join in this pilgrimage and look for signs of hope, which “does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Romans 5:5).
