CONGRESS 2000 THEME
"Awaken Hope -- Shout Jubilee!"
"Despierta la Esperanza -- Grita Jubileo"Sr. Edith Prendergast, Director of the Office of Religious Education, offers her reflection on the Congress theme:
Our theme invites us to journey toward the future with a hope that inspires confidence and an assurance that God is always with us. It is the hope of the Chosen People of Abraham who were blessed abundantly by the promises of God to Isaac. Women such as Sarah and Rebecca kept alive the hope of Israel's salvation, and the psalmists called us to be "stouthearted and put our hope in God." Through the gift of Jesus, God keeps us in the "Hope that does not disappoint" (Rm. 5:5). And we are reminded to "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation" (1 Thess. 5:8). And so our rich tradition of hope-filled men and women remind us to take courage as we break new ground and open up new paths in the new millennium. It is this hope that beckons us to shout Jubilee as we celebrate Jesus among us and reach out in reconciliation to a world in need of healing.
