His Eminence Cardinal Christophe Pierre - "Missionaries of Hope, Advocates for Justice" (Video and Text)
In announcing the Jubilee Year, Pope Francis declared, “By his perennial presence in the life of the pilgrim Church, the Holy Spirit illumines all believers with the light of hope. He keeps that light burning, like an ever-burning lamp, to sustain and invigorate our lives. Christian hope does not deceive or disappoint because it is grounded in the certainty that nothing and no one may ever separate us from God’s love: ‘Who will separate us from the love of Christ?...’ (Rom. 8:35)” (Spes Non Confundit [Bull of Indication of the Ordinary Jubilee of the Year 2025], no. 3). In our broken world, we are called to be examples of that hope to our communities. We are called to work together to bring about justice for all our sisters and brothers.
His Eminence Cardinal Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America, has held the position of Apostolic Nuncio since 2016 and was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 2023.
