Voices Of Our World
Spring 2025
On December 24th, 2024, Pope Francis opened the Holy Doors of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, officially inaugurating the Church’s Jubilee Year of Hope. Hope is the ground of discernment for any vocation or path in life. Maryknoll Father Rodrigo encourages all discerners, in the spirit of our Jubilee Year, to take hold of hope, embrace it and allow it to draw you forward, even when uncertain, into a life of purpose and joy. Maryknoll Father Joe Veneroso offers his own perspective on hope through a moving reflection, “Pilgrimage of Hope”, on how hope can be found even in the most mundane or desolate of circumstances. We round out the National Eucharistic Revival with our final Maryknoll comments on the meaning of Eucharist that we experience as missioners, and announcement of our April 16th – 20th Holy Week Missionary Discernment Retreat in El Paso, Texas. Please consider joining us for it!
