JUBILEE HOLY YEAR
THIRD MILLENNIUM CELEBRATION


2000 Theme - This is the Year of the Most Holy Trinity.    This Jubilee Year our special aim is to give glory to the Most Holy Trinity "from Whom everything in world and in history comes and to Whom everything returns."     This is also a Holy Year in Rome and in the Holy Land.     However, we can enter into the Holy Year Celebrations by making a
pilgrimage with our parish family --- after preparing and disposing ourselves through prayer and fasting, reconciling and healing, changing our manner of living and knowing God's forgiving mercy --- to one of the churches named by our Archbishop as a Holy Year Jubilee Church.   The Virtue for us to try to obtain and live this year, is Unity.    Unity which flows from forgiving and reconciling-healing, as God forgives and reconciles and heals our relationship with Him.    The Sacrament to be better known and to be received with greater frequency and devotion is the Most Holy Eucharist.     Mary is recalled as the Radiant Model of the Church.    Our daily practice this Jubilee Holy Year is be reaching out
to those who are alienated from ourselves, and from the Community of the Church.    We are to pray for unity among those who believe in God, and also to dialogue with world religions.     We are called-upon to seek a new Pentecost within the disciples of Christ as we begin this Third Millennium.      A Pentecost moved by the power of the Spirit that spills out into our world, which not only makes Christ better known and loved by all peoples everywhere, but also puts His Spirit into the hearts and minds of all people.


MILLENNIUM PRAYER

Gracious God,
We believe that you are a God of history, a God who walks before us,
behind us, within us.
As we journey toward the new millennium, fill us with gratitude.
Give us  hearts ready and willing to forgive, to restore, to reach out,
to welcome the stranger, the one in need.
Attune us to your voice in us, and around us, beckoning us into

a new beginning, a new year, a new millennium.

[With growing confidence, let us pray the above Archdiocesan Millennium Prayer daily.]
