With this message, which is the great legacy of the Second Vatican Council and of its “helmsman”, the Servant of God Pope Paul VI, John Paul II led the People of God across the threshold of the Third Millennium, which thanks to Christ he was able to call “the threshold of hope”. Throughout the long journey of preparation for the great Jubilee he directed Christianity once again to the future, the future of God, which transcends history while nonetheless directly affecting it.
Con este mensaje, que es la gran herencia del Concilio Vaticano II y de su «timonel», el Siervo de Dios el Papa Pablo VI, Juan Pablo II condujo al Pueblo de Dios a atravesar el umbral del Tercer Milenio, que gracias precisamente a Cristo él pudo llamar «umbral de la esperanza».
