Pope Francis has chosen the theme of hope for the 2025 jubilee year. As we journey through Lent in preparation for Easter, our Christian faith sustains us and is rooted in hope, that is, our focus on the death and resurrection of Christ. In this day of prayer, we will explore the psychology, theology and spirituality of this essential virtue.
