#139 Need More Hope? Me too!:The Jubilee Year of Hope

Feeling weighed down by the challenges of midlife? Struggling to find peace in uncertainty or suffering? The Church is inviting you into something truly special—2025 is the Jubilee Year of Hope!

In this episode, we explore why this year is set apart and how you can embrace hope in your daily life, no matter what season you're in. Join me as we dive into the biblical roots of Jubilee and how it applies to us as Catholic midlife moms today!

The Church celebrates a Jubilee Year every 25 years as a time of grace, renewal, and restoration. Rooted in Leviticus 25, the Jubilee in the Old Testament was a time when debts were forgiven, captives were set free, and the land was given rest. Today, it is a time for personal spiritual renewal, reconciliation, and reflection on God's mercy.

As Catholic moms in midlife, we experience many changes—our roles shift, our children grow, and our marriages evolve. This Jubilee Year reminds us that God is always calling us to deeper faith, healing, and trust in His plan. Hope is not just a distant concept, but it is a theological virtue that anchors us in God's promises.

In the midst of life’s transitions, we are called to trust that God is still writing our stories. Through intentional prayer, scripture reading, reconciliation, and surrender, we can cultivate hope and inspire those around us.

Let this be a time of renewal, where we release our anxieties and embrace the future with confidence in God's faithfulness. No matter what you are facing, hope is your anchor—choose to trust, surrender, and allow this Jubilee Year to transform your heart!
