Second Sunday of Advent
Cycle C
JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
Pope Fancis has wrien: The Holy Year will open on 8 December 2015, 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. And 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 (at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome) on the
Solemnity of the Immaculate Concep!on. 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 ins!lls hope.

On April 15 of this year, Pope Francis promulgated the Year of Mercy,

Immaculate Concep!on.
We have therefore a great opportunity to prepare ourselves for
Christmas, by reflec!ng together on the meaning of "mercy" in the
Word of God and its importance to Chris!ans today, in the context of a
widespread seculariza!on. May the Lord grant us, also through these talks, to live
Advent joyfully!

El Año Santo se abrirá el 8 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 entre podrá experimentar el amor de Dios
que consuela, que perdona y ofrece esperanza.
