For the Jubilee next year Pope Francis has invited us to become “pilgrims of hope.” Share a personal story about a time when hope played an important role in your life. Describe the situation, how you felt, and what gave you hope during that time. Explain how this experience impacted you and what you learned about the importance of hope.

Entries should be 500–750 words. Essays should include your name and division typed on each page.

Note: Spelling and grammar count.
