Please pray that God brings forth new and renewed life to our newly-forming parish. POPE FRANCIS: MERCY Jesus Christ is the face of the Father s mercy. These words might well sum up the mystery of the Christian faith. Mercy has become living and visible in Jesus of Nazareth, reaching its culmination in him. The Father, rich in mercy (Eph 2:4), after having revealed his name to Moses as a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness (Ex 34:6), has never ceased to show, in various ways throughout history, his divine nature. In the fullness of time (Gal 4:4), when everything had been arranged according to his plan of salvation, he sent his only Son into the world, born of the Virgin Mary, to reveal his love for us in a definitive way. Whoever sees Jesus sees the Father (cf. Jn 14:9). Jesus of Nazareth, by his words, his actions, and his entire person[1] reveals the mercy of God. We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace. Our salvation depends on it. Mercy: the word reveals the very mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Mercy: the ultimate and supreme act by which God comes to meet us. Mercy: the fundamental law that dwells in the heart of every person who looks sincerely into the eyes of his brothers and sisters on the path of life. Mercy: the bridge that connects God and man, opening our hearts to a hope of being loved forever despite our sinfulness. At times we are called to gaze even more attentively on mercy so that we may become a more effective sign of the Father s action in our lives. For this reason I have proclaimed an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy as a special time for the Church; a time when the witness of believers might grow stronger and more effective. The Holy Year will open on 8 December 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. This liturgical feast day recalls God s action from the very beginning of the history of mankind. After the sin of Adam and Eve, God did not wish to leave humanity alone in the throes of evil. So he turned his gaze to Mary, holy and immaculate in love (cf. Eph 1:4), choosing her to be the Mother of man s Redeemer. When faced with the gravity of sin, God responds with the fullness of mercy. Mercy will always be greater than any sin, and no one can place limits on the love of God who is ever ready to forgive. I will have the joy of opening the Holy Door on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. On that day, the Holy Door will become a Door of Mercy through which anyone who enters will experience the love of God who consoles, pardons, and instils hope. UNION DE LAS IGLESIAS DE SAN PEDRO Y SANTA MARIA El domingo próximo, 26º de abril, de 2:15PM hasta las 4PM los feligreses de la Iglesia de San Pedro y de la Iglesia de Santa Maria se reunirán para compartir algunas de nuestras vidas e historias de nuestras parroquias. Los que quieran asistir tienen que llamar a la rectoría (429-2196) y dejar su nombre y número de teléfono. Habrán otras actividades que los feligreses compartirán: la Misión parroquial en la iglesia de San Pedro del 3 de mayo hasta el 6 de mayo; la Misa en el cementerio de San Pedro el 25 de mayo (12PM); la procesión el 7 de junio, la Fiesta de Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo; el pasadía parroquial el 14 de junio. La última misa en la iglesia de Santa Maria se ofrecerá el sábado durante el día, 15 de agosto, la fiesta de la Asunción de María. La primera misa en nuestra parroquia recién fusionada será ofrecida en la tarde o en la noche del mismo día, 15 de agosto. Los preparativos para las misas están empezando. Oremos por la paz de todos aquellos que se le hace difícil y triste este proceso. Por favor, oremos para que Dios proporcione nueva vida a nuestra recién formada parroquia. PAPA FRANCISCO: LA MISERICORDIA Jesucristo es el rostro de la misericordia del Padre. El misterio de la fe cristiana parece encontrar su síntesis en esta palabra. Ella se ha vuelto viva, visible y ha alcanzado su culmen en Jesús de Nazaret. El Padre, «rico de misericordia» (Ef 2,4), después de haber revelado su nombre a Moisés como «Dios compasivo y misericordioso, lento a la ira, y pródigo en amor y fidelidad» (Ex 34,6) no ha cesado de dar a conocer en varios modos y en tantos momentos de la historia su naturaleza divina. En la «plenitud del tiempo» (Gal 4,4), cuando todo estaba dispuesto según su plan de salvación, Él envió a su Hijo nacido de la Virgen María para revelarnos de manera definitiva su amor. Quien lo ve a Él ve al Padre (cfr Jn 14,9). Jesús de Nazaret con su palabra, con sus gestos y con toda su persona[1] revela la misericordia de Dios. Siempre tenemos necesidad de contemplar el misterio de la misericordia. Es fuente de alegría, de serenidad y de paz. Es condición para nuestra salvación. Misericordia: es la palabra que revela el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad. Misericordia: es el acto último y supremo con el cual Dios viene a nuestro encuentro. Misericordia: es la ley fundamental que habita en el corazón de cada persona cuando mira con ojos sinceros al hermano que encuentra en el camino de la vida. Misericordia: es la vía que une Dios y el hombre, porque abre el corazón a la esperanza de ser amados no obstante el límite de nuestro pecado. Hay momentos en los que de un modo mucho más intenso estamos llamados a tener la mirada fija en la misericordia para poder ser también nosotros mismos signo eficaz del obrar del Padre. Es por esto que he anunciado un Jubileo Extraordinario de la Misericordia como tiempo propicio para la Iglesia, para que haga más fuerte y eficaz el testimonio de los creyentes. El Año Santo se abrirá el 8 de diciembre de 2015, solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción. Esta fiesta litúrgica indica el modo de obrar de Dios desde los albores de nuestra historia. Después del pecado de Adán y Eva, Dios no quiso dejar la humanidad en soledad y a merced del mal. Por esto pensó y quiso a María santa e inmaculada en el amor (cfr Ef 1,4), para que fuese la Madre del Redentor del hombre. Ante la gravedad del pecado, Dios responde con la plenitud del perdón. La misericordia siempre será más grande que cualquier pecado y nadie podrá poner un límite al amor de Dios que perdona. En la fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción tendré la alegría de abrir la Puerta Santa. En esta ocasión será una Puerta de la Misericordia, a través de la cual cualquiera que entrará podrá experimentar el amor de Dios que consuela, que perdona y ofrece esperanza.
