Pilgrims of Hope Prayer

Seeking God’s guidance this prayer offers strength and protection as pilgrims begin their journey. It asks for God’s presence in every moment—offering light in darkness, shelter in trials, and comfort in times of weakness—while encouraging a deeper awareness of His presence in others and in the world.

This prayer combines elements from Laudato Si’, the 2025 Jubilee prayer, the 2025 Bull of Indiction, various Catholic traveler prayers, and the 12th-century prayer for the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (which is still in use today).

This prayer was created as part of the Pilgrims of Hope for Creation Pilgrimage Planning Toolkit.
