The Spiritual Life Committee (SLC) chose this book as the focus of faith sharing in small groups to prepare our minds and hearts for the upcoming Jubilee Year of Hope. The book is available on Amazon for about $12, or you can go to the Vatican website (www.vatican.va) and download the 14 articles that have been compiled into the book, entitled On Hope. 

The SLC also created a reflection guide to aid small group discussion. The reflection guide will be available for free download on this webpage by August 25th.
