FULL TEXT of Pope Francis: "Christian hope is a gift from God that fills our lives with joy. And today, we need it a lot. The world really needs it a lot! When you don’t know if you’ll be able to feed your children tomorrow, or if what you’re studying will allow you to get a good job, it’s easy to get discouraged. Where can we look for hope? Hope is an anchor – an anchor that you cast over with a rope to be moored on the shore. We have to hold onto the rope of hope – hold on tight. Let’s help each other discover this encounter with Christ who gives us life, and let’s set out on a journey as pilgrims of hope to celebrate that life. And entering into the upcoming Jubilee is the next stage within that life. Day by day, let us fill our lives with the gift of hope that God gives us, and through us, let us allow it to reach everyone who is looking for it. Don’t forget – hope never disappoints. Let us pray that this upcoming Jubilee strengthen us in our faith, helping us to recognize the Risen Christ in the midst of our lives, transforming us into pilgrims of Christian hope."
