“Pilgrims are a journey,” he begins. “And sometimes when we journey, when we walk, we experience difficulty… challenges.”
For Deacon Danilo, the Pilgrimage of Hope is not a solitary path paved with ease. It is a shared road marked by struggle and grace. He reminds us that there is strength in vulnerability—and that naming our pain is part of healing.
“It’s okay to say, ‘I am not okay.’”
In a world that often demands constant strength, Deacon Danilo’s words echo the Gospel call to bear one another’s burdens. He calls us to walk as one, drawing closer to our hope—not in isolation, but in solidarity.
“And in that [struggle], we can work together toward our goal—our hope.”
As he continues his ministry, Deacon Danilo draws deeply from this message: that even when we feel unsteady, the journey continues, because we do not walk alone. Our hope is real, and our togetherness makes it stronger.
“Together, we can achieve our desire. Our hope.”
May his words accompany us in this Jubilee Year—as we walk in faith, acknowledge our humanity, and support each other on the road to hope.
