Years ago I remember a commencement speaker say that graduation was not the end of learning but the beginning of learning on our own. At the end of the Jubilee Year what Pope Leo said in a general audience last month was similar. In speaking of the “journey” and “destination” of this Holy Year he pulled from the Catechism in reminding us “that our whole life is a journey, whose final destination transcends space and time, to be fulfilled in the encounter with God and in full and eternal communion with God.”
Whether or not you made a journey during the Jubilee we are all on a journey of some kind. At the end of this Jubilee Year we can ask, as St. Brenden did, “to leave old ways and to break new ground with [God].” By carrying a welcoming heart wherever we go we can keep the spirit of journey and destination alive.
Showcasing SHA talent: Our journeys will probably keep us on earth, but if you need to go farther connect with Fiona in 7th.
God bless,
