Green is the first color to break the winter blanket which covers all the world in earthen solitude.

Green is the color of Hope.  Here at Assisi Heights we Clares are “Pilgrims of Hope” singing with the pilgrims throughout our needy world.

Pope Francis has declared a jubilee year of Hope

at this very time of great global unrest.

We are fearful for our future.  Hope gives us a cushion, a sense of serenity, a feeling of anticipatory joy. Thus we celebrate on this wondrous feast of Easter: The Risen Christ here, among us,

as our source of Hope.
