Abstract: | Xi xhur ilu, f'gurnal Ingliz, qrajt rapport dwar il-ħafna preparazzjonijiet li qegħdin isiru għaċ-ċelebrazzjoni tal-bidu tal-millenju l- ġdid. Qrajt dwar ikliet f'lukandi magħrufa gewwa Londra - ikliet u divertiment ieħor Ii se jsiru fil-lejl ta' bejn il-31 ta' Dicembru 1999 u l-1 ta' Jannar 2000 - u li dawn ilhom zmien fully booked. Hawn min ilu ħafna żmien jaħseb fuq l-aspett soċjali u konsumistiku ta' dan l-avveniment. Kellu raġun il-Kardinal Basil Hume ta' Westminster, f'diskors Ii għamel fl-4 ta' Mejju 1996 lill-grupp ta' għaqdiet Kattolici, meta qal: "We in the Church must make our plans too. In fact, we should be ahead of all others, for the Millenium itself has its reason in the birth of Him we know as Lord and Saviour." Fl-Ittra Appostolika Tertio Millennia Adveniente, il-Papa Gwanni Pawlu II jidħol fid-dettall dwar kif għandha ssir it-tħejjija għall-Ġublew il-kbir tas-sena 2000. Dwar l- 1997, il-Papa jgħid li din is-sena "se tkun riflessjoni fuq Kristu, il-Verb tal-Missier li sar bniedem bil-ħidma ta' l- Ispirtu s-Santu. Jeħtieg naraw b'mod tassew ċar il-karattru kollu kemm hu kristologiku tal-Gublew." (TMA 40a). Tajjeb Ii niftakru Ii l-emfasi li ssir fis- sentejn ta' wara (1998 u 1999) se tkun fuq l-Ispirtu s-Santu u l-Missier. |
Description: | The article offers a snapshot of the pastoral and spiritual preparation for the great Jubilee of the year 2000. Relying on some of the main insights presented in Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter "Tertio millennio adveniente", the author seeks to remind readers about the main focus of the Jubilee year. This is meant to be a year of grace because Christians are called to contemplate Christ. Pastoral issues concerning the sacrament of baptism are also outlined. Christian witness is underlined as part of the ongoing experience of the baptised in contemporary society. |
