What is in "The Great Jubilee 2000" for You?
His Holiness the Pope John Paul II has called this Jubilee "the greatest one in the history of the Church", it is the only one called "The Great Jubilee", and the only one which had six years of preparation.
The Pope expects it to be "a spring-time for the Church", with graces inundating the whole world in the Third Millennium… but you and I have to bring them about!.
It is the first time in the history of the Church that the "plenary indulgence" can be gained without going to Rome… if you apply for you this "plenary indulgence", your soul is totally clean of any dust of sin, as if you had just been baptized… if you apply it for one of your deceased relatives or friends, he will go to Heaven immediately, if he is in Purgatory… and you can gain a "plenary indulgence" once a day, and apply it for different persons!.
You have one full year to gain many "plenary indulgences"… and the problem for many Catholics is that they have not gain even one on April 2000… already three months lost!.
What to do to gain a "plenary indulgence"?:
There are three very easy ways, and it is the first time in the history of the Church that it is so easy. In the last Jubilee, I had to go to Rome, and enter through the Jubilee Door… now you can gain it in this three ways:
First Way:
1- Go to Confession within the last month, and
receive Communion in any Church on the day you are going to gain the "plenary
indulgence".
2- Go to an "assigned Church" in your Diocese: The Cathedral,
and several other churches in each Diocese.
3- Pray an Our Father, a Creed, and a Hail Mary for the intentions of
the Pope.
4- Apply the "plenary indulgence" for you, or for a dead
relative or friend.
Second Way:
1- Confession and Communion the same.
2- Visit a sick person… you are visiting Christ!.
3- Pray with him an Our Father, a Creed, and a Hail Mary for the
intentions of the Pope.
4- The "plenary indulgence" is now yours, and you can apply
it for you, or for a dead relative or friend.
Third Way:
1- Confession and communion the same.
2- Do an act of charity or penance: Give money or your time to one who
needs it.
3- Pray an Our Father, a Creed, and a Hail Mary for the intentions of
the Pope.
4- Apply the indulgence for you or for any of your deceased friends.
