JUBILEE, "TIME OF AUTHENTIC RECONCILIATION," SAYS
BISHOP TO COSTA RICANS |
San Jose, 6 (NE) Within the frame of the Great Jubilee of Year 2000, the Bishop of the Diocese
of Limon, Costa Rica, Francisco Ulloa Rojas, addressed faithful pointing out that the Jubilee is
"a time of authentic reconciliation." "We prepare ourselves to cross -he pointed- the threshold of
this time of grace and reconciliation, in which we want to celebrate with happiness and gratitude
the 2000 years of the Incarnation of the Son of God in the Immaculate womb of the Virgin
Mary."
Bishop Ulloa referred as well to the Jubilee as a "favorable time in order to reaffirm our faith and
to rediscover the true friendship with the Lord. It is an opportunity to break away with
everything that prevents us from living in peace with ourselves, with God and with others." The
Bishop's message closed with a plea to Mary "the first to shelter the Son of God and with loving
faith to present Him", so that She may "help us all to open our hearts wide open to Christ, our
Redeemer."
