Welcome to the Easter issue of the Light of the North.

In this “Pilgrims of Hope Jubilee Year”, hope is very much a theme of this Easter issue of the Light of the North, which includes: Bishop Hugh’s Letter, seven characteristics of hope (p3). A pilgrimage walk through the glens and hills of Scotland with Sr Bernadette Marie OP, and the annual Mass in honour of Saint John Ogilvie (p6). Kenneth Sadler’s conversion story (p15). Lidia Konar’s account of the life of the Polish “Angel of Mercy”, Sister Julia Rodzinska (p17). Eileen Grant’s consideration of why Pope Francis chose “Hope” as his theme for the Jubilee Year (p22). For both our younger and not so young readers Jean Paul de Quay’s life of St John Ogilvie SJ, in comic strip form, makes for a “galloping” read! (p24).
