Like a flame my hope is burning,
May my song arise to you:
Source of life that has no ending,
On life’s path I trust in you.

~ Hymn for the Jubilee Year 2025: Pilgrims of Hope

In this day retreat, we will mark the transition from Lent into Holy Week by focusing on the hope that guided Jesus and his followers into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Hope is trusting that God’s love is with us as we rejoice and as we mourn; as we rest and as we toil; as we end and as we begin anew. We will spend our retreat exploring prayer practices that help us reflect on the Lent we have made and the Easter season that opens before us. The day will include opportunities for silent reflection and time for group conversations. Lunch is included. Guided by Linda Mastro.

Linda Mastro is a graduate of the Bon Secours Spiritual Direction Institute in Marriottsville, Maryland, where she now serves as a faculty member. In addition to being an Associate of Bon Secours, Linda is a spiritual companion for individuals and groups and brings a spirit of compassion and light-heartedness to her work as a women’s retreat facilitator, pilgrimage leader, and workshop guide. Linda is co-author of the book Petite Retreats: Renewing Body, Mind, and Spirit Without Leaving Home. Learn more about Linda and her ministry at LivingPilgrimage.com.
