PRAYER OF THE HOLY FATHER
FOR THE THIRD YEAR OF PREPARATION
FOR THE GREAT JUBILEE 2000
The Holy Father:
Blessed are you, Lord,
Father in heaven,
who, in your infinite mercy,
tooped down to us in our distress
and gave us Jesus, your Son, born of a woman,
to be our savior and friend, our brother and Redeemer.
We thank you, good Father,
for the gift of the Jubilee Year;
make it a time of favor for us,
the year of a great return to the Father's house,
where, full of love, you await your straying children
to embrace them in your forgiveness
and welcome them to your table,
in their festive garments.
℟. May our everlasting praise rise to you, O Father!
The Holy Father:
Father most merciful,
during this Holy Year
may our love for you and for our neighbor
grow ever stronger:
may Christ's disciples promote justice and peace;
may they proclaim the Good News to the poor;
and may the Church our Mother direct her love especially
to the little ones and the neglected.
℟. May our everlasting praise rise to you, O Father!
The Holy Father:
Father of justice,
may the Great Jubilee be the fitting time
for all Catholics to rediscover the joy
of living by your word
and obeying your will;
may they know the goodness of fraternal communion,
as they break bread together
and praise you in hymns and inspired songs.
The Holy Father:
Father, rich in mercy,
may the Holy Jubilee be a time of openness,
of dialogue and encounter,
among all who believe in Christ
and with the followers of other religions:
in your immense love,
be bountiful in mercy to all.
The Holy Father:
O God, Almighty Father,
as we make our way to you,
our ultimate destiny,
may all your children experience
the gentle company of Mary most holy,
image of purest love,
whom you chose to be Mother of Christ
and Mother of the Church.
The Holy Father:
To you, Father of life,
eternal source of all that is,
highest good and everlasting light,
be honor and glory, praise and thanksgiving,
with the Son and with the Spirit,
for ages unending.
℟. Amen. Amen. Amen.
