ORACION DEL AÑO DE JUBILEO DE
LA MISERICORDIA
Lord Jesus Christ,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Señor Jesucristo,
tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos
como el Padre del cielo,
y nos has dicho que quien te ve,
lo ve también a Él.
Let the Church be your visible face in the world.
Haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti.
you have taught us to be merciful
like the heavenly Father
Send your spirit so that the Jubilee of Mercy
may be a year of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm,
bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed,
and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through
the intercession of Mary,
Mother of Mercy,
you who live and reign with the Father
and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
Amen.
Adapted from the prayer penned by Pope Francis.
Manda tu Espíritu para que el Jubileo de la
Misericordia
sea un año de gracia del Señor
y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo,
llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres,
proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y
oprimidos
y restituir la vista a los ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por la
intercesión de María,
Madre de la Misericordia,
a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre
y el Espíritu Santo
por los siglos de los siglos.
Amén.
Adaptada de la oración escrita por el Papa Francisco.
USCCB DOCUMENT TO: THE FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP
Excerpt from the Summary of the USCCB (U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops) Document: FAITHFUL
CITIZENSHIP (a guide for Catholics on how to vote)
What Public Policies Should Concern Catholics Most?
As Catholics, we are led to raise questions about political
life other than those that concentrate on individual, material well-being. We focus more broadly on what protects
or threatens the dignity of every human life. Catholic
teaching challenges voters and candidates, citizens and
elected officials, to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of public policy issues. In light of ethical principles,
we bishops offer the following policy goals that we hope
will guide Catholics as they form their consciences and
reflect on the moral dimensions of their public choices:
Fragmento del sumario de la USCCB (Conferencia Católica
de los Obispos de EE.UU.) Documento: CIUDADANÍA FIEL
(una guía para los católicos sobre cómo votar)
¿Qué políticas públicas deben preocupar más a los Católicos?
Como Católicos, nos planteamos preguntas acerca de la vida
política distintas a las que se concentran en el bienestar material
de individuos. Nos enfocamos más ampliamente en lo que nos
protege o amenaza la dignidad de cada vida humana. Las enseñanzas Católicas retan a los votantes y candidatos, ciudadanos
y funcionarios electos, a considerar las dimensiones morales y
ética de los asuntos de las políticas públicas. A la luz de los principios éticos, los obispos ofrecen los siguientes objetivos de
política que esperamos guiará a los católicos, a que formen su
conciencia y reflexionen sobre las dimensiones morales de sus
opciones públicas:

You, Lord Jesus, were for Gianna a splendid example.
She learned to recognize you in the beauty of nature.
As she was questioning her choice of vocation, she went in search
of you and the best way to serve you. Through her married love
she became a sign of Your love for the Church and for humanity.
Like you, the Good Samaritan, she cared for everyone
Who was sick, small or weak. Following your example,
Out of love she gave herself entirely. Generating new life.
AMEN
