Page 1 November 22, 2015 Catholic Parish of St. John Neumann THANKSGIVING DAY MASSES 10:00 a.m. English; 12 noon Spanish Lets gather together as a parish family and give thanks to God for all our blessings. Thanksgiving Day Prayer Oh God, when I have food, Help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, Help me to remember the jobless; When I have a home, Help me to remember those who have no home at all; When I am without pain, Help me to remember those who suffer. And in remembering, Help me to destroy my complacency; Bestir my compassion, And be concerned enough to help; By word and deed, Those who cry out for what we take for granted. Amen Pope Francis has announced an extraordinary Jubilee, a Holy Year of Mercy from December 8, 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, until November 20, 2016 . Pope Francis invites us to think about mercy anew as the “act by which God comes to meet us”, but also mercy as 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.” He invites us to live by this mercy in our parishes and lives, to forgive others as well as to seek reconciliation. He challenges us to understand mercy and justice as “two dimensions of the same reality” on the way of conversion of the sinner towards love.—From BULL OF INDICTIONS OF THE EXTRAORDINARY JUBILEE OF MERCY We are asked to proclaim and live by the word of God’s mercy, to reach out to others, to help strengthen and accompany them through their struggles. Reflecting on the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy can help us to find a starting point. Let us share the joy of the Gospel through our actions, our words and our prayers during this Holy Year of Mercy.

DEVOTION TO DIVINE MERCY The Divine Mercy Devotion, based on the apparitions and diaries of St. Faustina Kowalska, instills in us a deep understanding of the love and mercy of God. We are encouraged to pray daily for divine mercy in our own lives and trust that Jesus will give us everything we need to be instruments of God’s mercy to others. St. Faustina’s feast day is October 5. Divine Mercy Sunday is the First Sunday of Easter. Additional information can be found at www.thedivinemercy.org.

Page 3 November 22, 2015 PASTOR’S REFLECTION Solemnity of Christ the King November 22, 2015 Dear Friends, Of course we are not citizens of an evil nation. In fact, we cannot thank God enough for all the good and the freedom in our land. But we are also mindful that even good nations like our own have turned their backs on truth for the sake of political expediency. This Feast of Christ the King ought to make us think about our loyalties. There is, of course, nothing wrong with loving our homeland. But as disciples of Jesus, the true ruler of all, our primary loyalty must be to Christ and the truth from which His power flows. *How, on a daily basis, do I seek to make Jesus my ruler and guide? Be assured of my prayers for you and your dear ones. May the good Lord bless you with wisdom and peace. Please pray for me. In Christ, Msgr. Pablo A. Navarro PARKING LOT CHARITY AND COURTESY Please be mindful that the parking lot is the school ground is open and there is always plenty of parking available. “Fire Lanes” are exactly that. They are lanes to be left open for an emergency for Fire or Emergency vehicles. Fire Lanes are not parking lanes. Cars parked in a fire lane can be towed according to code. We have not enforced this hoping for common sense and courtesy. However, we may have to do this for emergency safety sake. Most of our neighbors are not Catholic or parishioners. However, they have been more than kind and patient with us regarding damage to their lawns. Please park in our school lot when the regular parking places are all taken up. Thank you for your charity and for your courtesy in this very important matter. Catholic Parish of St. John Neumann JUBILEE OF MERCY The Year of Mercy in the Archdiocese of Miami The following Churches in the Archdiocese will have a designated Holy Door. In this way, the Jubilee will be celebrated both in Rome and throughout the Archdiocese of Miami as a visible sign of the Church’s universal communion. Plenary Indulgence for the Year of Mercy Pope Francis laid out the following conditions for obtaining the Jubilee Indulgence: Those who make a pilgrimage to and pass through the Holy Door of Mercy at: The Cathedral of Saint Mary The Basilica of Saint Mary Star of the Sea The National Shrine of Our Lady of Charity Gesu Catholic Church Saint Anthony Catholic Church Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church Those who make a pilgrimage to and pass through the Holy Door of Mercy at: St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome Any other Papal Basilicas in Rome *The sick and the elderly who are unable to attend may receive the Jubilee Indulgence by “living with faith and joyful hope this moment of trial and receiving communion. *Those who are incarcerated may obtain the indulgence in the chapels of the prisons.” *Those who perform the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy. People are talking about mercy again! And it’s all because Pope Francis is awakening our world to the need for mercy. He proclaimed that “this is the season of mercy.” Pope Francis calls it a new era and he urges each of us to travel this path of mercy. He tells us that “Mercy is the Lord’s most powerful message,” and he hopes that we will “find a form of mercy for all.” We need mercy because we live in an imperfect world. We all know people who have suffered a death in the family, a serious illness, divorce, a job loss, or some other personal tragedy. We have heard stories of violence, oppression, poverty, prejudice and abuse. And while we can’t stop every bad thing from happening, Pope Francis believes that we can become more merciful in our response to people in need.

Corporal Works of Mercy focus on physical needs: Feed the hungry Give drink to the thirsty Clothe the naked Shelter the homeless Visit the sick Visit those in prison Bury the dead The spiritual works of mercy center on spiritual and emotional needs: Instruct the ignorant Counsel the doubtful Admonish the sinner Comfort the sorrowful Forgive injuries Bear wrongs patiently Pray for the living and the dead You probably practice many of the corporal works of Mercy through food and clothing drives, visits to the sick and homebound, and attending wakes and funerals. You practice the spiritual works of mercy when you share your faith, spend time listening to someone who is going through difficulties, forgive those who hurt you, and pray for living and deceased family members and friends.
