Abstract: From time to time, Popes have often decided to dedicate a specific intention to particular years. Besides the customary Holy Years celebrated periodically since 1300 and culminating in the Great Jubilee of the year 2000, we have witnessed in the last five decades the celebration of a number of special years by the Universal Church. Among these, one recalls the Year of Faith (1967-68) on the nineteenth centenary of the martyrdom of St Peter, the Marian Year (1987-88), the Year of the Rosary (2002-03), the Year of the Eucharist (2004-05), the Pauline Year (2008-2009) and the Year for Priests (2009-10). In each case, the aim of different Popes was to invite the Universal Church to reflect more deeply on a particular aspect of the mission and life of the People of God.
