Saint Paul Parish Millennium Pledge

JUBILEE DOOR
OUR WAY TO NEW LIFE

We were taken through this door for Baptism, trusting the moment
the water was poured,
a covenant was established with God
promising Eternal Life.
Once again we passed through this door
to receive the Lord Jesus for the first time
and to experience the beauty of His
forgiveness.
Also through this door we assembled to be
overshadowed by the power
of the Holy Spirit
and blessed with the gifts that would
carry us through the rest of our lives.
In due time, we passed this door once again
and stood before this altar
to promise our love to our spouses for life.
When the sting of death touched us,
we passed this door to seek the compassion and strength of our God.

And finally there are moments when we pass
through this door to be alone and simply kneel before His presence. We call upon
the power of Our God to bless us with
the gifts we need to live out the Gospel
preached by His Son.
Our teacher, Saint Paul, reminds us in his
words that we are called to be the Body of
Christ. We, the People of Saint Paul, have
heard these words and given them flesh,
for we truly are the Body of Christ.
This Door will remain open to signify
our willingness to welcome all in the
name of Jesus Christ and pray that our
lives will lead all who enter here into
a new Life in Him.

Preparing for the
Third Christian
Millennium

Our Prayer in Preparation for the Third Christian Millennium
The Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God My Saviour;
Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid;
for, behold henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because He who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is His Name; And His mercy is from generation
to generation to those who fear Him.
He has shown might with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and He has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich He has sent away empty.
He has given help to Israel,
His servant, mindful of His mercy,
Even as He spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham, and to His posterity forever.
AMEN
