We want to live this Jubilee Year in light of the Lord’s words: Merciful like the Father. The Evangelist reminds us of the teaching of Jesus who says, “Be merciful just as your Father is merciful” (Lk 6:36). It is a programme of life as demanding as it is rich with joy and peace. Jesus’s command is directed to anyone willing to listen to his voice (cf. Lk 6:27). In order to be capable of mercy, therefore, we must first of all dispose ourselves to listen to the Word of God. This means rediscovering the value of silence in order to meditate on the Word that comes to us. In this way, it will be possible to contemplate God’s mercy and adopt it as our lifestyle. 14. The practice of pilgrimage has a special place in the Holy Year, because it represents the journey each of us makes in this life. Life itself is a pilgrimage, and the human being is a viator, a pilgrim travelling along the road, making his way to the desired destination. Similarly, to reach the Holy Door in Rome or in any other place in the world, everyone, each according to his or her ability, will have to make a pilgrimage. This will be a sign that mercy is also a goal to reach and requires (Continued on page 2) St. Matthew Catholic Church 2 February 14, 2016 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Misericordiae Vultus (cont’d) dedication and sacrifice. May pilgrimage be an impetus to conversion: by crossing the threshold of the Holy Door, we will find the strength to embrace God’s mercy and dedicate ourselves to being merciful with others as the Father has been with us. The Lord Jesus shows us the steps of the pilgrimage to attain our goal: “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back” (Lk 6:37-38). The Lord asks us above all not to judge and not to condemn. If anyone wishes to avoid God’s judgement, he should not make himself the judge of his brother or sister. Human beings, whenever they judge, look no farther than the surface, whereas the Father looks into the very depths of the soul. How much harm words do when they are motivated by feelings of jealousy and envy! To speak ill of others puts them in a bad light, undermines their reputation and leaves them prey to the whims of gossip. To refrain from judgement and condemnation means, in a positive sense, to know how to accept the good in every person and to spare him any suffering that might be caused by our partial judgment, our presumption to know everything about him. But this is still not sufficient to express mercy. Jesus asks us also to forgive and to give. To be instruments of mercy because it was we who first received mercy from God. To be generous with others, knowing that God showers his goodness upon us with immense generosity. Merciful like the Father, therefore, is the “motto” of this Holy Year. In mercy, we find proof of how God loves us. He gives his entire self, always, freely, asking nothing in return. He comes to our aid whenever we call upon him. What a beautiful thing that the Church begins her daily prayer with the words, “O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me” (Ps 70:2)! The assistance we ask for is already the first step of God’s mercy toward us. He comes to assist us in our weakness. And his help consists in helping us accept his presence and closeness to us. Day after day, touched by his compassion, we also can become compassionate towards others. To be continued Given in Rome, at Saint Peter’s, on 11 April, the Vigil of the Second Sunday of Easter, or the Sunday of Divine Mercy, in the year of our Lord 2015, the FRANCISCUS third of my Pontificate. Misericordiae Vultus BULA DE CONVOCACIÓN DEL JUBILEO EXTRAORDINARIO DE LA MISERICORDIA FRANCISCO OBISPO DE ROMA SIERVO DE LOS SIERVOS DE DIOS A CUANTOS LEAN ESTA CARTA GRACIA, MISERICORDIA Y PAZ. 13. Queremos vivir este Año Jubilar a la luz de la palabra del Señor: Misericordiosos como el Padre. El evangelista refiere la enseñanza de Jesús: « Sed misericordiosos, como el Padre vuestro es misericordioso » (Lc 6,36). Es un programa de vida tan comprometedor como rico de alegría y de paz. El imperativo de Jesús se dirige a cuantos escuchan su voz (cfr Lc 6,27). Para ser capaces de misericordia, entonces, debemos en primer lugar colocarnos a la escucha de la Palabra de Dios. Esto significa recuperar el valor del silencio para meditar la Palabra que se nos dirige. De este modo es posible contemplar la misericordia de Dios y asumirla como propio estilo de vida. 14. La peregrinación es un signo peculiar en el Año Santo, porque es imagen del camino que cada persona realiza en su existencia. La vida es una peregrinación y el ser humano es viator, un peregrino que recorre su camino hasta alcanzar la meta anhelada. También para llegar a la Puerta Santa en Roma y en cualquier otro lugar, cada uno deberá realizar, de acuerdo con las propias fuerzas, una peregrinación. Esto será un signo del hecho que también la misericordia es una meta por alcanzar y que requiere compromiso y sacrificio. La peregrinación, entonces, sea estímulo para la conversión: atravesando la Puerta Santa nos dejaremos abrazar por la misericordia de Dios y nos comprometeremos a ser misericordiosos con los demás como el Padre lo es con nosotros. El Señor Jesús indica las etapas de la peregrinación mediante la cual es posible alcanzar esta meta: « No juzguéis y no seréis juzgados; no condenéis y no seréis condenados; perdonad y seréis perdonados. Dad y se os dará: una medida buena, apretada, remecida, rebosante pondrán en el halda de vuestros vestidos. Porque seréis medidos con la medida que midáis » (Lc 6,37-38). Dice, ante todo, no juzgar y no condenar. Si no se quiere incurrir en el juicio de Dios, nadie puede convertirse en el juez del propio hermano. Los hombres ciertamente con sus juicios se detienen en la superficie, mientras el Padre mira el interior. ¡Cuánto mal hacen las palabras cuando están motivadas por sentimientos de celos y envidia! Hablar mal del propio hermano en su ausencia equivale a exponerlo al descrédito, a comprometer su reputación y a dejarlo a merced del chisme. No juzgar y no condenar significa, en positivo, saber percibir lo que de bueno hay en cada persona y no permitir que deba sufrir por nuestro juicio parcial y por nuestra presunción de saberlo todo. Sin embargo, esto no es todavía suficiente para manifestar la misericordia. Jesús pide también perdonar y dar. Ser instrumentos del perdón, porque hemos sido los primeros en haberlo recibido de Dios. Ser generosos con todos sabiendo que también Dios dispensa sobre nosotros su benevolencia con magnanimidad. Así entonces, misericordiosos como el Padre es el “lema” del Año Santo. En la misericordia tenemos la prueba de cómo Dios ama. Él da todo sí mismo, por siempre, gratuitamente y sin pedir nada a cambio. Viene en nuestra ayuda cuando lo invocamos. Es bello que la oración cotidiana de la Iglesia inicie con estas palabras: « Dios mío, ven en mi auxilio; Señor, date prisa en socorrerme » (Sal 70,2). El auxilio que invocamos es ya el primer paso de la misericordia de Dios hacia nosotros. Él viene a salvarnos de la condición de debilidad en la que vivimos. Y su auxilio consiste en permitirnos captar su presencia y cercanía. Día tras día, tocados por su compasión, también nosotros Continuará llegaremos a ser compasivos con todos.

Published by World Library Publications. p.149 St. Matthew Catholic Church 5 February 14, 2016 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Jubilee Year of Mercy First Sunday of Lent On Ash Wednesday Pope Francis commissioned “Missionaries of Mercy,” priest-confessors sent forth worldwide as “living signs of the Father’s readiness to welcome those in search of [God’s] pardon.” In a way, though, Pope Francis challenges all of us to become “missionaries of mercy” (Misericordiae Vultus, 18) by living Lent in this Jubilee Year of Mercy “more intensely as a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God’s mercy” (MV, 17). Francis bids us make the prophet Micah’s words our own: “God . . . who does not persist in anger forever, but delights rather in clemency. You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins” (Micah 7:18, 19). Having experienced God’s mercy ourselves in the unconditional forgiveness of our sins, how eager we should be to invite others to know the peace of God’s boundless mercy; perhaps even to experience, through our reaching out in gentle kindness and compassionate care, something of God’s unconditional love for them. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

En cierta manera, el Papa Francisco desafía a todos nosotros a convertirnos en “misioneros de la misericordia” al vivir esta Cuaresma del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia con “mayor intensidad, como momento fuerte para celebrar y experimentar la misericordia de Dios” (Misericordiae Vultus, 17). El Papa Francisco nos propone hacer nuestras las palabras del profeta Miqueas: “No persistirá en su ira para siempre, porque se complace en la misericordia. Volverá a compadecerse de nosotros, sepultará nuestras culpas” (Miqueas 7:18–19). Ya que nosotros mismos hemos experimentado la misericordia de Dios en el perdón incondicional de nuestros pecados, que tan entusiasmados debemos estar para invitar a todos los demás para conocer de Dios la paz de la misericordia inmensa; más aún por experiencia, a través de nuestro alcance de bondad y cuidado compasivo, algo del amor incondicional de Dios por ellos. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

There are many important statistics about world poverty and the significant way in which Catholics can respond to really make a difference in the lives of the poor.

Take the rice bowl this week and return it on Holy Thursday. ♥ Stations Of The Cross take place each Friday after the 12:05 Mass in English and after the 7:00PM Mass in Spanish. ♥ Join A Lenten Faith Sharing Group. ~†~ ♥ El Tazón de Arroz estará disponible para que se lo lleve a casa este fin de semana.
