This marked the beginning of the Jubilee Year 2000. The Holy Door symbolises the entrance into the presence of God. It is an image of our pilgrimage to the Father through Jesus Christ. The word Jubilee comes from the Hebrew word 'yobel' meaning 'ram's horn'. Time Time has a priceless value.
Fools employ it in self admiration, and the wise in doing good.
It is time which, in the twinkling of an eye, opens the door to eternity. Be careful how to use your time for it passes by unnoticed, and it does not come back. It causes fear because the future is really hidden from everyone. The World Youth Day is an international gathering of young people, held since 1985, the International Youth Year. Here is an opportunity for the young to share a common theme in proclaiming the Jubilee and make Jesus present 'today'.
