Lord Jesus, fullness of time and Lord of history, prepare our minds to celebrate with faith the great Jubilee of the year 2000, so that it might be a year of grace and mercy. Give us a pure and simple heart so that we might contemplate with ever renewed wonder the mystery of the incarnation when You, the Son of God, in the womb of the Virgin, sanctuary of the Spirit, became our brother.
(Praise and glory to You, O Christ, today and forever.)
Jesus, the beginning and fulfillment of the new man, convert our hearts so that, having abandoned the ways of error, we might walk in Your footsteps on the path which leads to life. Make us live our faith with coherence, faithful to our baptismal promises, testifying with conviction to Your Word, so that the life-giving light of the Gospel might shine in our families and in society.
(Praise and glory to You, O Christ, today and forever.)
Jesus, power and wisdom of God, inspire in us a love for Sacred Scripture in which there resounds voice of the Father which illuminates, inflames, nourishes, and consoles. You, Word of the living God, renew missionary zeal in the Church so that all peoples might come to know You, true Son of God and true son of man, the one mediator between man and God.
(Praise and glory to You, O Christ, today and forever.)
Jesus, fount of unity and peace, strengthen the communion in Your Church. Give strength to the ecumenical movement so that all Your disciples, by the power of Your Spirit, might become one. You who gave us as a rule of life the new commandment of love, make us builders of a world that is united, in which war is conquered by peace and the culture of death by a zeal of life.
(Praise and glory to You, O Christ, today and forever.)
Jesus, only-begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth, the light which illumines every person, give the abundance of Your life to all who seek You with a sincere heart. To You, Redeemer of humanity, beginning and end of time and of the universe, and to the Father with the Holy Spirit, infinity communion of love, all honor and glory now and forever.
Amen
