How can we be merciful like the Father in this First Week of Advent? The
Collect (opening prayer at Mass) asks
God to give us the resolve to run forth
to meet Christ. So, we begin this new
Church year running once more to be
with Christ who is coming to us. At this
meeting, let us be found doing works
of mercy. The Spiritual Works of Mercy are: counseling the doubtful, instructing the ignorant, admonishing the sinner, comforting the sorrowful, forgiving injuries, bearing
wrongs patiently, and praying for the living and the
dead. • Who needs mercy this week? • What righteous deed of mercy will I do?
Primer Domingo de Adviento – 29 de Noviembre del
2015
¿Cómo podemos ser misericordiosos, como el Padre, en
esta Primera Semana de Adviento?
La oración colecta pide a Dios nos de la firme determinación de ir al encuentro de Cristo. Por tanto, iniciamos este nuevo año Litúrgico (año de la Iglesia, año Eclesial) buscando estar
con Cristo, quien viene a nosotros. Que en este encuentro
con Él, seamos hallados haciendo obras de misericordia.
Las obras espirituales de misericordia son: 1) Enseñar al
que no sabe. 2) Dar buen consejo al que lo necesita. 3)
Corregir al que está en error. 4) Perdonar las injurias. 5)
Consolar al triste. 6) Sufrir con paciencia los defectos de
los demás. 7) Rogar a Dios por vivos y difuntos.
¿Quién necesita misericordia esta semana?
¿Qué virtuosa obra de misericordia realizaré yo?
Abortion and Christmas
Aborto y Navidad
Over the last few years, in certain parts of the country, one
can give friends and loved ones Planned Parenthood gift
certificates. These vouchers can be used towards abortion,
various contraceptive devices, or any of Planned
Parenthood’s other "family planning" services (a total misnomer, since the goal of family planning is most definitely not
end up with a family).
The fact that Planned Parenthood is offering contraception
and abortion as a possible gift makes their philosophy
about abortion very clear. This is certainly not the action of
a group of people who want abortion to be "safe, legal,
and rare," as their popular phrase goes.
They want the death of the unborn child to be seen as a
positive thing, not a regrettable but sometimes "necessary
procedure" as they claim. Of course, this is not surprising,
since Planned Parenthood makes its profits from abortions;
they are just another company trying to aggressively promote their main product.
This view of life could not be more opposed to the biblical
view. In the biblical world, children are unequivocally seen
as wonderful gifts from God:
"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of
one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame … " Psalm 127: 4-5
At Christmas time, we celebrate the greatest gift of life to
mankind in the birth
of the Messiah, Jesus
Christ. To associate
abortion in any way
with the Christmas
celebration is absolutely antithetical to
the entire meaning of
Christmas and to our
Christian faith.
En los últimos años, en ciertas partes del país, uno puede
dar a sus amigos y
familiares, certificados de regalos de
Planned Parenthood.
Estos certificados
pueden usarse para
aborto, varios artículos anticonceptivos, o
cualquiera de los
otros servicios de
“planificación familiar” que ofrece Planned Parenthood
(totalmente inadecuado, ya que la meta de la planificación
familiar es definitivamente la de no terminar con la familia)..
El hecho de que Planned Parenthood este ofreciendo anticonceptivos y aborto como posible regalo, hace muy clara
su filosofía acerca del aborto. Esto ciertamente no es una
acción de un grupo de personas que desean que el aborto
sea “seguro, legal y raro,” como es la frase popular que
usan.
Ellos quieren que la muerte del niño no nacido se vea como
algo positivo, no como algo deplorable, algunas veces como un “procedimiento necesario” como ellos así lo llaman.
Por supuesto, esto no es una sorpresa, ya que Planned Parenthood hace su ganancia de los abortos; ellos solamente
son como cualquier otra gran compañía que trata agresivamente promover su mejor producto.
Este modo de ver la vida no puede ser más opuesto a la
visión bíblica. En el mundo bíblico los niños son, sin equivocarse, vistos como un maravilloso regalo de Dios.
“Como flechas en manos del guerrero son los hijos de la
juventud. Feliz el hombre que con tales flechas ha llenado su
alijaba! Sus contrarios no los harán callar…. Salmo 127:4-5
En el tiempo de Navidad, nosotros celebramos el más grande de los regalos de vida a la humanidad con el nacimiento
del Mesías, Jesucristo. El asociar de alguna manera el
aborto con la Navidad, es absolutamente opuesto al verdadero significado de la Navidad y a nuestra fe Cristiana.
Jubilee Year of Mercy
December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, marks the beginning of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Pope Francis, in
“Misericordiae Vultus: Bull of Indication of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy,” calls us all to contemplate the gift of God’s mercy
throughout salvation history and in our own lives. A year of jubilee is rooted din the Old Testament. The book of Leviticus states that a
jubilee should be celebrated every fifty years. In that year slaves were set free and returned to their families, the land was not cultivated, any property disputes were settled and land was returned to the original owner, and debts were forgiven.
Pope Francis chose December 8 as the inauguration date of the jubilee for two reasons. The first is the fact that this day
marks the fiftieth anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council. The second reason is that the first reading of the solemnity
recalls the sing of our parents, Adam and Eve, which eventually would lead to the sending of
God’s only Son, who is our redeemer. This is the extraordinary outpouring of mercy from a loving
Father upon his children.
Doors play an important role in the Jubilee Year of Mercy. The “Holy Door” at Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican will be opened by Pope Francis on December 8. The following Sunday, another holy door will be opened at the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, the cathedral of the
diocese of Rome, Pope Francis’ own cathedral as the bishop of Rome. At that time, the Holy Father
will announce that holy doors of mercy will be opened in every diocese around the world; that’s
640 archdioceses and 2,206 dioceses! The pope will also ask that a door at special places where
Catholics make pilgrimages be designated a door or mercy as well. What a wonderful symbol of
the limitless possibilities to know God’s mercy!
The faithful are encouraged to pass through the doors of mercy during this extraordinary year. These acts are really pilgrimages for Catholics, even if it simply means making one’s way to the local diocesan cathedral or a Catholic site with a designated
door of mercy. Pope Francis outlines what the Lord Jesus himself shows us as the steps along the pilgrimage of mercy. He quotes the
words of the Lord from a passage in Saint Luke’s Gospel: “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will
not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgive, give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken
down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to
you” (6:37-38). This Jubilee Year of Mercy summons us, then, to turn to our God, the God of infinite mercy to ask forgiveness and to
give praise for God’s boundless gift of mercy, the Holy Father also asks us to be instruments of mercy ourselves in imitation of the
mercy poured out on us. Specifically Pope Francis asks us to forgive.
In what ways will you show mercy in this Jubilee Year of Mercy? How will you “give and forgive”? Whom might you be called
to forgive? Whom might you be called to stop condemning? Might you be called to forgive yourself?
A jubilee year is something that can help change our lives as Catholics. The fact that all these doors of mercy will be opened
all over the world is a sign that we are a universal church, the people of God who are never alone on our pilgrimage. Let us hold one
another in prayer, under the mantle of mercy as this extraordinary year unfolds.
Jubilee Year of Mercy
November 29, 2015
First Sunday of Advent
Besides a new liturgical year, this Advent features an additional “beginning”—next week’s opening of the Jubilee Year
of Mercy, a graced opportunity to contemplate more profoundly and live more concretely the mystery of God’s unconditional love. Pope Francis says that mercy, as the bridge
connecting God and the human family, opens our hearts to
welcome God’s love for us sinners and our eyes to recognize
others, especially society’s least loved and most vulnerable,
as brothers and sisters entrusted to our care. Today’s scriptures provide a perfect Jubilee preparation. Jeremiah comforts us with the promise of God’s justice; Paul challenges us
to abound in love for all; Luke bids us anticipate Jesus’ future
coming as the joyful advent of our redemption. But in a
unique way, this Jubilee Year’s Advent reminds us that Jesus,
whose coming we await, is already present among us, in
those for whom we need to become instruments of God’s
mercy.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
29 de noviembre de 2015
Primer Domingo de Adviento
Además de un Año Nuevo Litúrgico, este Adviento se
caracteriza por incluir otro “comienzo”; la próxima semana es
la inauguración del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, un tiempo
de gracia para contemplar más profundamente y vivir más
concretamente los misterios incondicionales del amor de Dios.
El Papa Francisco dice que la misericordia, así como el puente
que conecta a Dios con la familia humana, abre nuestros corazones para dar la bienvenida al amor de Dios por nosotros
pecadores y abre nuestros ojos para reconocer al prójimo,
especialmente en los menos amados por la sociedad y los más
vulnerables, como hermanos y hermanas confiados a nuestro
cuidado. Las Escrituras de este día facilitan una perfecta preparación para el Jubileo. Jeremías nos consuela con la promesa de la justicia de Dios; Pablo nos desafía para prosperar en
el amor por todos, mientras que Lucas se
esfuerza por anticiparnos el futuro de la
venida de Jesús como el alegre adviento
de nuestra redención. Pero de una única
manera, el Adviento de este Año Jubilar
nos recuerda que Jesús, de quien esperamos su venida, está ya presente en medio de nosotros, en aquellas personas
para las que necesitamos convertirnos en
instrumentos de la misericordia de Dios.
