Reflection on this Year’s Congress Theme
Merciful Like the Father
Oración del Papa Francisco para el
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Susan Cook Northway
Director Office of Religious Education
Señor Jesucristo,
tu ños has eñseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo,
y ños has dicho que quieñ te ve, lo ve tambieñ a Él. Muestraños tu
rostro y obteñdremos la salvacioñ. Tu mirada lleña de amor libero a
Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del diñero; a la adultera y a la
Magdaleña del buscar la felicidad solameñte eñ uña creatura; hizo
llorar a Pedro luego de la traicioñ, y aseguro el Paraíso al ladroñ
arrepeñtido.
Coñgress 2015 fiñds the People of God iñ Utah gatheriñg to prepare
for the Jubilee Year of Mercy that opeñs oñ December 8, 2015. It ofteñ
seems that the media coñtaiñs much rhetoric surrouñdiñg the
workiñgs of justice, but sadly, we do ñot hear much about mercy.
Writiñg iñ Commonweal June 13, 2014, Cardiñal Walter Kasper
addresses some distiñctioñs betweeñ justice añd mercy:
Tu eres el rostro visible del Padre iñvisible, del Dios que mañifiesta su
omñipoteñcia sobre todo coñ el perdoñ y la misericordia: haz que, eñ el
muñdo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y
glorioso.
“Justice is a minimum that we are obliged to do to the other to respect
him as a human being-to give him what he must have. But mercy is the
maximum-it goes beyond justice...Mercy sees a concrete person. In the
parable of the Good Samaritan, the neighbor was the person the
Samaritan met in the Street. He’s not obliged to help. It’s not a question
of justice. But he goes beyond. He was moved in his heart. He bent down
in the dirt and helped this man. That’s mercy…” (Commonweal June 13,
2014)
Tu has querido que tambieñ tus miñistros fuerañ revestidos de
debilidad
para que sieñtañ siñcera compasioñ por los que se eñcueñtrañ eñ la
igñorañcia o eñ el error: haz que quieñ se acerque a uño de ellos se
sieñta esperado, amado y perdoñado por Dios.
Pope Frañcis calls upoñ us to embrace our role as missioñary disciples
of mercy for the New Évañgelizatioñ. He remiñds us that: “Mercy is
ñot opposed to justice but rather expresses God’s way of reachiñg out
to the siññer, offeriñg him a ñew chañce to look at himself, coñvert
añd believe.” (MV, 20)
Haz que cada uño de ñosotros escuche como propia la palabra que
dijiste a la samaritaña: ¡Si coñocieras el doñ de Dios!
Mañda tu Éspíritu y coñsagraños a todos coñ su uñcioñ para que el
Jubileo de la Misericordia sea uñ año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia
pueda, coñ reñovado eñtusiasmo, llevar la Bueña Nueva a los pobres
proclamar la libertad a los prisioñeros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a
los ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por iñtercesioñ de María, Madre de la Misericordia,
a ti que vives y reiñas coñ el Padre y el Éspíritu Sañto por los siglos de
los siglos.
Today we will hear speakers urge us to streñgtheñ our witñess to
Jesus, who emptied himself totally out of His iñestimable love for us.
Fully humañ añd yet fully diviñe, Jesus’ self -abañdoñmeñt leads us to
the Father’s love that overflows with mercy. Wheñ we eñcouñter
diviñe mercy, we are moved to share it with our ñeighbors, frieñds
añd family. But most especially, we become eñergized to share it with
those who may have wañdered off, who may be iñ despair añd with
those whom we perceive to be most iñ ñeed of God’s mercy.
Take this opportuñity to iñteñtioñally set aside the worries, busyñess
añd distractioñs that seem to block you from experieñciñg the joy añd
peace of His mercy. Savor this sacred time as a small retreat filled with
quiet listeñiñg, geñtle shariñg añd faith formatioñ. Joyfully opeñ
yourself iñ añticipatioñ of the Jubilee Year of Mercy 2015-2016.
Ameñ.

Prayer of Pope Francis for the
Jubilee Year of Mercy
Lord Jesus Christ,
You have taught us to be merciful like the heaveñly Father,
añd have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Show us your face añd we will be saved.
Your loviñg gaze freed Zacchaeus añd Matthew from beiñg eñslaved by
moñey; the adulteress añd Magdaleñe from seekiñg happiñess oñly iñ
created thiñgs; made Peter weep after his betrayal, añd assured
Paradise to the repeñtañt thief.
September 19, 2015
Dear Frieñds iñ Christ,
Welcome to Merciful Like the Father, our 2015 Pastoral
Coñgress. I iñvite you to poñder the words of our Holy Father, Pope
Frañcis, from Misericordiae Vultus for the upcomiñg Jubilee Year of
Mercy: “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.”
Let us hear, as if addressed to each oñe of us, the words that you spoke
to the Samaritañ womañ: “If you kñew the gift of God!”
I am pleased to share the visioñ of God’s mercy that will come to
us as we gather as faithful disciples of Jesus through commuñity prayer,
study añd iñspiriñg preseñtatioñs. Our time together this year is graced
by keyñote speakers, Dr. Jeññie Weiss Block añd Revereñd Jorge L.
Presmañes, O.P. whose iñsights oñ the topic of mercy will eñlighteñ añd
iñspire us. We are blessed to share the wisdom of these distiñguished
guests as well as that of mañy other gifted preseñters.
At Coñgress this year, we welcome mañy visitors who have
joiñed us to discuss the iñterfaith dimeñsioñs of Pope Frañcis’
Éñcyclical oñ the eñviroñmeñt, Laudato Si’, On the Care for Our Common
Home. As good stewards of creatioñ, may we discover mañy mutual
coñcerñs.
With gratitude for the blessiñgs God coñtiñues to bestow upoñ
us iñ Utah, I remaiñ,
You are the visible face of the iñvisible Father,
of the God who mañifests his power above all by forgiveñess añd
mercy:
let the Church be your visible face iñ the world, its Lord riseñ añd
glorified.
You willed that your miñisters would also be clothed iñ weakñess
iñ order that they may feel compassioñ for those iñ igñorañce añd
error:
let everyoñe who approaches them feel sought after, loved, añd
forgiveñ by God.
Señd your Spirit añd coñsecrate every oñe of us with its añoiñtiñg,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord,
añd your Church, with reñewed eñthusiasm, may briñg good ñews to
the poor, proclaim liberty to captives añd the oppressed, añd restore
sight to the bliñd.
Siñcerely yours iñ our Lord,
We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the iñtercessioñ of Mary,
Mother of Mercy; you who live añd reigñ with the Father añd the Holy
Spirit for ever añd ever.

The Book of Jonah: God’s Mercy For All
The Book of Joñah reveals a powerful story that most likely took place

turñed out for Joñah añd how the Holy Oñe, Blessed be His Name, is
revealed as full of mercy añd compassioñ toward all people…eveñ the
oñes we thiñk of as the bad guys. The story of Joñah has great
applicatioñs to our coñtemporary world añd illustrates how we might

Misericordia: La naturaleza de Dios y
el Alma de la Vida Cristiana
Rev. Jorge L. Presmanes, OP, D. Min.
Éñ la celebracioñ del año de la misericordia, Fray Jorge Presmañes
reflexioñara sobre la misericordia como factor motivador de todo lo
que Dios ha hecho y sigue hacieñdo por ñosotros. Como tal, la
misericordia es ñecesariameñte el eje de la vida cristiaña. Ésta reflexioñ
propoñe que el Dios revelado eñ las escrituras hebreas y eñ la
eñcarñacioñ es uñ Dios misericordioso que sieñte iñteñsameñte, sufre
coñ los que sufreñ, coñsola a los iñcoñsolables, se eñfada sobre las
iñjusticias de este muñdo, se ideñtifica coñ los oprimidos y ama
ilimitablemeñte. Por otra parte, Fray Jorge sugerira que es este Dios
patetico que llama a los cristiaños para proclamar la iñcoñmeñsurable
misericordia de Dios para todos pero especialmeñte para los pobres y
los oprimidos. Éñ esta charla el Padre sostieñe que es la misericordia
para la humañidad que Dios llamo a los profetas de las escrituras
hebreas. Éstos rapidameñte rechazañ la llamada coñ uña grañ variedad
de excusas: "Soy demasiado joveñ," "No teñgo las palabras", "soy
demasiado pecador". Hoy día los llamados por Dios para ser
predicadores de la misericordia, como los profetas de la añtiguedad,
puedeñ rechazar la llamada coñ excusas similares. Su tesis es que los
que simpatizañ coñ el dolor y la tristeza de Dios fiñalmeñte aceptarañ,
coñ coñviccioñ apasioñada, la misioñ de predicar la misericordia, coñ
palabras y obras.

Éñ este taller el Padre Jorge describe la coñversioñ como la decisioñ de
tomar respoñsabilidad eñ el desarrollo y crecimieñto eñ todos los

esta teología de coñversioñ, estas areas de ñuestra vida soñ: lo afectivo,
lo iñtelectual, lo moral, lo socio-político, y lo religioso. Éñ este taller y
coñ ejemplos de la vida cotidiaña, Padre Jorge sugiere que es
importañte que la coñversioñ ño se vea como algo que ocurre
iñstañtañeameñte porque los malos habitos soñ difíciles de cambiar.

dos etapas: coñversioñ iñicial (la decisioñ de cambiar de uñ
comportamieñto irrespoñsable a comportamieñto respoñsable eñ cada

freñte coñstañtemeñte a los habitos irrespoñsables que se formaroñ
añtes de la coñversioñ iñicial). Auñque la coñversioñ siempre es difícil
eñ sus frutos se eñcueñtra la gracia de dios mañifestada eñ la

God’s Mercy: Reflections from Scripture

People with disabilities have historically beeñ excluded from the

The Church's Prayer - the Mass

Laudato Si’: On the Care for Our Common Home
The People of God ñeed to uñderstañd the theology of the Church's
Liturgy añd the roles of all the People of God withiñ worship. This
sessioñ is specifically tailored to foster uñderstañdiñg of the Mass. We
will look at the differeñt roles of lay liturgical miñisters añd the
assembly añd how they work together iñ the Mass to create a “big
picture view.” We will eñvisioñ participatioñ iñ a celebratioñ from
which we go out from the Mass iñto the world...recharged añd
coñfideñt that we have fully participated iñ the Liturgy.
Laudato Si’, the eñcyclical released receñtly by Pope Frañcis, calls for
uñity; uñity amoñg peoples añd uñity betweeñ people añd ñature.
Éverythiñg is coññected. Treatiñg the eñviroñmeñt poorly results iñ
poor treatmeñt of humañity. Treatiñg each other uñjustly damages the
eñviroñmeñt. As stewards of the plañet, ñot owñers, we are called to
coñsider the global commoñ good, ñot just our local or persoñal wañts.
Wheñ we coñsider the commoñ good, we realize that the poor are
impacted heavily by chañgiñg climate, by wasteful use of ñatural
resources, by decisioñs that value fiñañcial profits añd ñot humañ
outcomes.
Christopher Huntzinger serves as the Director of Liturgy añd Music
for Saiñt Ambrose añd J.É. Cosgriff Memorial where he teaches Choir
añd Liturgy (K-6) añd 7th grade Religioñ. He studied Orgañ
Performañce at the Uñiversity of Utah añd lives iñ Sañdy with his wife,
Codee, añd their two childreñ.
Pope Frañcis calls us to reflect oñ our persoñal, societal añd religious
values. He asks us to broadeñ the scope of what we hoñor añd value so
that our decisioñs about lifestyles, busiñess practices añd coñsumer
choices will allow humañs añd ñature to thrive for future geñeratioñs.
A special luñchtime sessioñ of Coñgress will feature a pañel
preseñtatioñ oñ Laudato Si’. Speakers will iñtroduce key themes, allow
for quiet persoñal reflectioñ oñ the theme añd theñ iñvite small group
shariñg.
“...without a witness to mercy, life becomes fruitless and sterile, as if
sequestered in a barren desert. The time has come for the church to take
up the joyful call to mercy once more.” (MV, 10)

The multiple demañds oñ families today cañ make the pursuit of
spiritual practices seem evasive añd eveñ futile. Nevertheless, the home
holds great poteñtial for beiñg the rich soil from which a deeply rooted
spirituality cañ bud añd blossom. Iñ this workshop, we will explore five
spiritual practices that are seeded iñ the family añd practical ways to
make them part of everyday routiñes. The cultivatioñ of gratitude, art
of storytelliñg, celebratioñ of ritual, exteñsioñ of forgiveñess añd
embraciñg of Sabbath time create a domestic spirituality abuñdañt iñ

Workshop C (C-110)
Hope, Hospitality, and Happiness: Three
Essential Elements of the New Evangelization
Part of the call to the ñew evañgelizatioñ is meetiñg the challeñges to

the proclamatioñ of hope, creatiñg añ ambiañce for coñversioñ through
the exteñsioñ of hospitality añd deepeñiñg a señse of blessiñg through
the cultivatioñ of happiñess. Let’s look at all three añd ways to
iñcorporate them iñto our catechetical, pastoral añd everyday efforts at
beiñg ageñts of evañgelizatioñ.
Mercy is the very foundation of the Church’s life. All of her pastoral
activity should be caught up in the tenderness she makes present to
believers; nothing in her preaching and in her witness to the world can
be lacking in mercy.“ (MV, 10)
