But it s also more than just a celebration. As we head into the next millennium, we should take time to reflect on the past and any errors we may have made, and focus on how to improve in the future. God constantly calls us to conversion. He extends this opportunity to the Church and to each of us in a special way during the Great Jubilee. We believe world peace begins at home, says Sister of Charity Mary Bookser.
Peace is built day by day, hour by hour.
Individuals will assign the appropriate amount of time for their pledges. A sampling of pledges will be posted on the Web site. The goal is to accumulate 8,766,000 hours or 1,000 years of pledges for peace. Pledges will be tallied beginning this month. Every year, people make New Year s resolutions as a way to make the coming year better than the last.
