Matt 28:19-20
19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
The Holy Father showed his great honor and love for the Holy Trinity concluding Trinitarian celebrations with the Great Jubilee year 2000.
He dedicated three consecutive years to the Holy Trinity as follows:
1st Year of preparation for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, dedicated to Jesus Christ [faith] 1997
2nd Year of preparation for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, dedicated to the Holy Spirit [hope] 1998
3rd Year of preparation for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, dedicated to God the Father [charity] 1999

SLAVORUM APOSTOLI
31. To you, therefore, God the Father Almighty, God the Son who have redeemed the world, God the Spirit who are the sustainer and teacher of all holiness, I desire to entrust the whole Church of yesterday, today and tomorrow, the Church both in Europe and throughout the earth. Into your hands I commit this singular wealth, made up of so many different gifts, ancient and new, placed in the common treasury by so many different sons and daughters. |
