These words might well sum up the mystery of the Chris an faith. Mercy has become living and visible in Jesus of Nazareth, reaching its culmina on in him.” Reason for Proclaiming a Jubilee Year of Mercy “We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace. Our salva on depends on it. Mercy: the word reveals the very mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Mercy: the ul mate and supreme act by which God comes to meet us.” Reason for Star ng the Jubilee Year of Mercy on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Concep on “This liturgical feast day recalls God's ac on from the very beginning of the history of mankind. A er 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 is the Very Founda on of the Church's Life Historic Chapel / Capilla Histórica Thursday........................ 7:00-9:00 pm (English/Español) Church / Iglesia Saturday ..................................... 4:00-4:30 pm (English) Domingo .................................... 2:15-3:15 pm (Español) BAPTISM PREPARATION / PREPARACIÓN PARA BAUTIZO Bap sm Classes Begin while pregnant or awai ng adop on.

The Church's very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love... Consequently, wherever the Church is present, the mercy of the Father must be evident. In our parishes, communi es, associa ons and movements, in a word, wherever there are Chris ans, everyone should find an oasis of mercy.” NEWCOMER’S GATHERING / REUNIÓN DE NUEVOS MIEMBROS Pope's Burning Desire for the Chris an People During this Jubilee Stephen Ministry Ralph Bally, 301-873-0487 (English) Zita Tepie, 301-519-1527 (English) “It is my burning desire that, during this Jubilee, the Chris an people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. It will be a way to reawaken our conscience, too o en grown dull in the face of poverty. Let us rediscover these corporal works of mercy: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead. And let us not forget the spiritual works of mercy: to counsel the doub ul, instruct the ignorant, admonish sinners, comfort the afflicted, forgive offences, bear pa ently those who do us ill, and pray for the living and the dead. con nued on page 3...

The Season of Lent During this Jubilee Year “Lent should also be lived more intensely as a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God's mercy... The ini a ve of ‘24 Hours for the Lord,’ to be celebrated on the Friday and Saturday preceding the Fourth Week of Lent, should be implemented in every diocese. So many people, including the youth, are returning to the Sacrament of Reconcilia on... Let us place the Sacrament of Reconcilia on at the centre once more in such a way that it will enable people to touch the grandeur of God's mercy with their own hands. For every penitent, it will be a source of true interior peace... During Lent of this Holy Year, I intend to send out Missionaries of Mercy... There will be priests to whom I will grant the authority to pardon even those sins reserved to the Holy See, so that the breadth of their mandate as confessors will be even clearer.” Goal of Conversion for Those Involved in Criminal Organiza ons and in Corrup on “May the message of mercy reach everyone, and may no one be indifferent to the call to experience mercy... I par cularly have in mind men and women belonging to criminal organiza ons of any kind. For their own good, I beg them to change their lives.” Gran ng of Indulgences “A Jubilee also entails the gran ng of indulgences... God's forgiveness knows no bounds... To gain an indulgence is to experience the holiness of the Church, who bestows upon all the fruits of Christ's redemp on, so that God's love and forgiveness may extend everywhere.” Mercy in Judaism and Islam “There is an aspect of mercy that goes beyond the confines of the Church. It relates us to Judaism and Islam... I trust that this Jubilee year celebra ng the mercy of God will foster an encounter with these religions and with other noble religious tradi ons…” Mary, Mother of Mercy “My thoughts now turn to the Mother of Mercy. May the sweetness of her countenance watch over us in this Holy Year, so that all of us may rediscover the joy of God's tenderness.” EDUCATION / EDUCACIÓN Jubilee Year of Mercy: What is Mercy? Mercy is the experience of God’s love that forgives faults, heals hurts, and connects us more deeply to God and each other. Pope Francis describes mercy as “the bridge that connects God and man, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever despite our sinfulness” (MV, 2). This Advent as we prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus and to share His love, reflect on how you can open your heart to God’s mercy and share that mercy with friends, family, and those most in need.
