YEAR OF MERCY PRAYER
ORACION DEL AÑO DE JUBILEO DE LA
MISERICORDIA
Lord Jesus Christ,
Señor Jesucristo,
tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos
como el Padre del cielo,
y nos has dicho que quien te ve,
lo ve también a Él.
you have taught us to be merciful
like the heavenly Father
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Let the Church be your visible face in the world.
Send your spirit so that the Jubilee of Mercy
may be a year of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm,
bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed,
and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through
the intercession of Mary,
Mother of Mercy,
you who live and reign with the Father
and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
Amen.
Adapted from the prayer penned by Pope Francis.
Haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti.
Manda tu Espíritu para que el Jubileo de la
Misericordia
sea un año de gracia del Señor
y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo,
llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres,
proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y
oprimidos
y restituir la vista a los ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por la
intercesión de María,
Madre de la Misericordia,
a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre
y el Espíritu Santo
por los siglos de los siglos.
Amén.

LENT 2016
JUBILEE OF MERCY
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
The Holy Father has sent us all a Message for this Lent of the Jubilee of Mercy. I want to call your attention to it and urge you to read it. It is beautiful, concrete and opens up to us rich and inspiring ways to
make this Lent a deep and wonderful journey of faith as we seek God’s merciful love and receive it during
the forty days that we travel together to celebrate the Sacred Triduum of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
In his letter, Pope Francis says: Let’s not waste the season of Lent! He goes on to call Mary, the perfect
icon of the Church which evangelizes and is evangelized by the Holy Spirit. We too, who make up the
Church, must imitate Mary and open ourselves to the Spirit as she did at the Annunciation. Led by the
Spirit this Lent we can become ourselves evangelizers of God’s mercy by our words and our actions.
Pope Francis commends to us the time honored Corporal and Spiritual “Works of Mercy”. He says, God’s
mercy transforms our hearts to become merciful, inspiring us to love of neighbor. Take one a day or use
them to do an act of kindness. Corporal: feed the hungry; give drink to the thirsty; clothe the naked; welcome the stranger; care for the sick; visit the prisoners; bury the dead. The Spiritual: convert the sinner;
instruct the ignorant; counsel the doubtful; comfort the sorrowful; bear wrongs patiently; forgive injuries;
pray for the living and the dead.
For me the most beautiful part of his message is when he speaks of God’s merciful love for His Chosen
People and the faithfulness of His love as a covenant that, despite all the sins of God’s people, He will
always be faithful, always forgives, and will never cease to love us. The Pope takes that and invites us to
see God’s compassion for us His people as a model and an inspiration of marriage between a man and a
woman and the love that brings children into the world as part of a family. God’s unceasing, faithful love
(Hebrew: hesed) culminates in the Incarnation of His Son as the bridegroom who does everything to win
over His bride, the Church. He even dies for her!
And He does that for us now and always. Make this Lent a time when you open yourselves up to that love,
experience that love through the reconciling and healing sacrament of Penance; let this love heal your
hearts and renew your faith and your commitment to your spouse, your children, your parents, all the members of your family, your neighbors, your friends, all from whom you may be alienated. God offers that
love to you. You who accept His love then must be givers of that love to others.
May God’s words of love and reconciliation dwell in our hearts this Lent of Mercy and may God bless our
Church here on Long Island and make us instruments of His merciful love to others.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Bishop of Rockville Centre

CUARESMA 2016
JUBILEO DE LA MISERICORDIA
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo:
El Santo Padre ha enviado a todos un Mensaje para esta Cuaresma del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia. Quiero llamar su
atención e impulsarles a leerlo. Es hermoso, concreto y nos abre de forma rica e inspiradora para hacer esta Cuaresma un
viaje profundo y maravilloso de fe mientras buscamos el amor misericordioso de Dios y lo recibimos durante los cuarenta
días que caminamos juntos para celebrar el Sagrado Triduo de la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de nuestro Señor y Salvador.
En su carta, el Papa Francisco dice: ¡No desperdiciemos el tiempo de la Cuaresma! Él sigue llamando a María, el icono
perfecto de la Iglesia que evangeliza y es evangelizada por el Espíritu Santo. Nosotros también, que conformamos la Iglesia, debemos imitar a María y abrirnos al Espíritu como ella hizo en la Anunciación. Conducidos por el Espíritu, esta Cuaresma podemos hacernos evangelizadores de la misericordia de Dios por medio de nuestras palabras y nuestras acciones.
El Papa Francisco nos encomienda “Las obras de la Misericordia”, Corporales y Espirituales, tan estimadas a lo largo de
los siglos. Él dice, la misericordia de Dios transforma nuestros corazones haciéndolos misericordiosos, inspirándonos amar
al vecino. Tomar una al día y usarla para hacer un acto de caridad. Corporales: dar de comer al hambriento; dar de beber
al sediento; vestir al desnudo; acoger al forastero; cuidar de los enfermos; visitar a los presos; sepultar a los muertos. Espirituales: convertir al pecador; instruir al ignorante; aconsejar al que duda; consolar al que sufre; soportar el mal con paciencia;
perdonar las injurias; orar por los vivos y los muertos.
Para mí la parte más hermosa de su mensaje es cuando él habla del amor misericordioso de Dios por Su Pueblo Escogido y
la fidelidad de Su amor como la promesa que, a pesar de todos los pecados del Pueblo de Dios, Él siempre será fiel, siempre
perdona, y nunca dejará de amarnos. El Papa toma esto y nos invita a ver la compasión de Dios por nosotros Su pueblo como un modelo y una inspiración del matrimonio entre un hombre y una mujer y el amor que trae los niños al mundo a formar parte de una familia. El amor incesante, fiel de Dios (hebreo: hesed) culmina en la Encarnación de Su Hijo como el novio que hace todo para ganarse a Su novia, la Iglesia. ¡Él hasta muere por ella!
Y Él hace eso por nosotros ahora y siempre. Hagan de esta Cuaresma un tiempo en el cual se abran a ese amor. Experimenten ese amor por medio de la reconciliación y sanación del sacramento de la Penitencia; dejen que ese amor sane sus corazones y renueve su fe y su compromiso con su cónyuge, sus hijos, sus padres, todos los miembros de su familia, sus vecinos,
sus amigos, con todos aquellos que ustedes puedan estar alejados. Dios les ofrece ese amor. Ustedes que aceptan Su amor
deben ser donantes de ese amor a los demás.
Que las palabras del Dios de amor y reconciliación habite en nuestros corazones esta Cuaresma de la Misericordia y que
Dios bendiga nuestra Iglesia aquí en Long Island y nos haga instrumentos de Su amor misericordioso para con los demás.
Fielmente suyos en Cristo,
Obispo de Rockville Centre
