Father in heaven,
may the faith you have gifted us in
your son Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity
kindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us, the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into diligent cultivators of the evangelical seeds
that make humanity and the cosmos rise
unto the confident expectation
of the new heavens and the new earth,
when with the powers of Evil overcome,
your glory shall be manifested eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
the yearning for heavenly treasures
and pour over all the earth
the joy and peace
of our Redeemer.
To you God blessed in eternity,
be praise and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

Padre que estás en el cielo,
la fe que nos has donado en
tu Hijo Jesucristo, nuestro hermano,
y la llama de caridad
infundida en nuestros corazones por el Espíritu Santo,
despierten en nosotros la bienaventurada esperanza
en la venida de tu Reino.
Tu gracia nos transforme
en dedicados cultivadores de las semillas del Evangelio
que fermenten la humanidad y el cosmos,
en espera confiada
de los cielos nuevos y de la tierra nueva,
cuando vencidas las fuerzas del mal,
se manifestará para siempre tu gloria.
La gracia del Jubileo
reavive en nosotros, Peregrinos de Esperanza,
el anhelo de los bienes celestiales
y derrame en el mundo entero
la alegría y la paz
de nuestro Redentor.
A ti, Dios bendito eternamente,
sea la alabanza y la gloria por los siglos.
Amén.

Lyrics
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.
Ev’ry nation, tongue, and people
find a light within your Word.
Scattered fragile sons and daughters
find a home in your dear Son.
God, so tender and so patient,
dawn of hope, you care for all.
Heav’n and earth are recreated
by the Spirit of Life set free.
Raise your eyes, the wind is blowing,
for our God is born in time.
Son made man for you and many
who will find the way in him.
