THE JUBILEE YEAR OF 2025 - PILGRIMS OF HOPE
Over the coming weeks we will provide some further insights into the Jubilee Year. An official anthem for the Jubilee Year, Pilgrims of Hope, has been written. The original Italian text was written by Pierangelo Sequeri, and set to music by Francesco Meneghello. It was then translated into various languages. The English translation was prepared by Andrew Wadsworth. We will introduce this hymn over the next few weeks. Oftentimes, while walking along, a song will come to mind which really seems to express how we are feeling. This is also true for the life of faith, which is a pilgrimage toward the light of the Risen Lord. The Sacred Scriptures are steeped in song, and the Psalms are a striking example: the prayers of the people of Israel were written to be sung, and it was in song that the most human events were presented before the Lord. The tradition of the Church has continued this, making music and song one of the lungs of its liturgy. Many themes of the Jubilee Year are woven into the text of the official anthem. First of all, the motto, “Pilgrims of Hope”, is best echoed biblically in some pages from the prophet Isaiah (Is 9 and Is 60). The themes of creation, fraternity, God's tenderness and hope in our destination resonate throughout the hymn. (Source: Diocese of Sale, Living Liturgy) |
