YEAR OF MERCY PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ,
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.
ORACION DEL AÑO DE JUBILEO DE LA
MISERICORDIA
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.
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.
Adaptada de la oración escrita por el Papa Francisco.

THE JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY: CONTRITION AND CONVERSION
“In his very first Angelus address as Pope, Pope Francis reminded us that God never gives up on us; he told us, “God understands
us. He waits for us. He doesn't get tired of forgiving us, if we repent and go to him with a truly open heart.”
Think about that: the Lord never gets tired of forgiving us! Sometimes, though, we get tired of asking for forgiveness, but we shouldn’t. God pursues us relentlessly with love and mercy. The Holy Father wrote this: “In the parables devoted to mercy, Jesus reveals the
nature of God as that of a Father who never gives up until he has forgiven the wrong and overcome rejection with compassion and
mercy. We now these parables well, three in particular: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the father with two sons (cf. Luke 15:1-32). In
these parables, God is always presented as full of joy, especially when he pardons. In them we find the core of the Gospel and of our
faith, because mercy is presented as force that overcomes everything, filling the heart with love and bringing consolation through
pardon.” (Misericordiae Vultus 9)
Such mercy on the part of the Father should empower us to undertake the journey of true conversion and contrition. Conversion
means a turning around, a metanoia which involves a real change of direction, a complete reversal of a former way. It is conforming
our life to Christ’s life more and more, so that more and more we live His life and allow His grace to grow in us.
“We can only approach the kingdom of Christ by metanoia. This is a profound change of the whole person by which we begin to consider, judge, and arrange our life according to the holiness and love of God, made manifest in his Son in the last days and given to us
in abundance.” (Rite of Penance 6)
There is nothing better than experiencing the new beginning God gives us when we reorient our life back toward Him. There is a real
exhilaration that comes with changing our life and celebration a return to Him. All this is made possible because of God’s mercy and
forgiveness, but we must cooperate with His mercy through our sorrow (contrition), which aptly expressed in the Sacrament of Penance.
When we look over the actions of our life, and realize that we have sinned, and that we want to do better, we are experiencing contrition, That’s when God’s grace urges us to try to change the areas of our life that cause us to sin. Then , our
conversion and reorientation back to God is made complete by celebrating the Sacrament of Penance; without
this sacrament, the grace-filled experience of truly expressing our contrition is lacking something real and
tangible. We should never cheat ourselves out of the full experience of contrition and conversion by missing
out on expressing our contrition in the Sacrament of Penance.
EL AÑO JUBILAR DE LA MISERICORDIA: ARREPENTIMIENTO Y CONVERSION
"En su primer Angelus como Papa, Francisco nos recuerda que Dios nunca se da por vencido
con nosotros; nos dijo: "Dios nos entiende. Él nos espera. Él no se cansa de perdonarnos, si nos
arrepentimos y vamos a él con un corazón verdaderamente abierto".
Piense sobre esto: el Señor nunca se cansa de perdonarnos! A veces, sin embargo, nos cansamos de pedir perdón,
pero no debemos. Dios nos persigue sin descanso con el amor y la misericordia. El Santo Padre escribió esto: "En las
parábolas dedicadas a la misericordia, Jesús revela la naturaleza de Dios como la de un padre que nunca se da por
vencido hasta que ha perdonado el mal y supera el rechazo con compasión y misericordia. Nosotros conocemos muy
bien estas parábolas, tres en particular: la oveja perdida, la moneda perdida, y el padre con dos hijos (Lucas 15:132). En estas parábolas, Dios siempre es presentado lleno de alegría, especialmente cuando él perdona. En elloa encontramos el núcleo del Evangelio y de nuestra fe, porque la misericordia es presentada como la fuerza que todo lo
vence, llenando el corazón con amor y trayendor consuelo a través de perdón". (Misericordiae Vultus 9)
Tal piedad de la parte del Padre nos debería permitir emprender el viaje de la verdadera conversión y arrepentimiento. La conversión significa un giro alrededor, una metanoia que implica un verdadero cambio de rumbo, un cambio
completo de una forma antigua. Nuestra vida se está ajustando a la vida de Cristo más y más, por lo que cada vez más
nosotros vivimos Su vida y permite Su gracia crecer en nosotros.
"Sólo podemos abordar el reino de Cristo por la metanoia. Se trata de un cambio profundo de toda la persona por la
que empezamos a considerar, juzgar y organizar nuestra vida de acuerdo a la santidad y el amor de Dios, manifestado en su Hijo en los últimos días y se nos da en abundancia. "(Rito de la Penitencia 6)
No hay nada mejor que experimentar el nuevo comienzo que Dios nos da cuando reorientamos nuestra vida de nuevo
hacia él. Hay una verdadera euforia que viene con el cambio de nuestra vida y la celebración de un retorno a él. Todo
esto es posible gracias a la misericordia y el perdón de Dios, pero hay que cooperar con Su misericordia a través de
nuestro dolor (contrición), la que acertadamente es expresada en el Sacramento de la Penitencia.
Cuando miramos más las acciones de nuestra vida, y nos damos cuenta de que hemos pecado, y que queremos hacer
lo mejor, estamos experimentando la contrición. Eso es cuando la gracia de Dios nos impulsa a tratar de cambiar las
áreas de nuestra vida que nos hacen pecar . Entonces, nuestra conversión y reorientación de regreso a Dios se completa con la celebración del Sacramento de la Penitencia; sin este sacramento, la experiencia llena de gracia de expresar nuestra verdadera contrición es la pérdida de algo real y tangible. Nunca debemos engañarnos a nosotros mismos de la experiencia completa de la contrición y conversión perdiendo la expresión de nuestra contrición en el Sacramento de la Penitencia.
