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.

THE JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY: HOW TO GO TO CONFESSION
This Monday, March 21, Monday of Holy Week, every parish in the Diocese of Rockville Centre (and Brooklyn, and the Archdiocese of New York, too) will be have
priests available for confession for a large part of the day. The goal of providing an extended time for priests to hear confessions on this “Diocesan Day of Reconciliation” is to have as many people as possible celebrate the sacrament, perhaps especially those who have been away from Confession for a long time.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity? Especially if you have not been to Confession in 5 or 10 or 20 years (or even longer), this is a great opportunity. We promise you a warm welcome! We promise you an experience of joy! We promise you that you will have an encounter with Jesus that will leave you feeling the best that you
have felt in a long, long time!
In case you feel a little rusty about going to the Sacrament of Penance, here are some basic steps for you to follow. Don’t get worried too much about the “how to,”
though; the priest will be very willing to help you if you explain to him that you are nervous or unfamiliar with the rite.
1.
Prepare ahead of time. Make sure you spend some time examining your conscience, prayerfully recalling your sins and preparing what you want to tell the priest.
Think about specific actions, general patterns, and attitudes. Ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
2.
Go to the Priest. You can go anonymously behind a screen or curtain, or you can go face-to-face. If it’s helpful, begin by making the Sign of the Cross and saying,
“Bless me Father, for I have sinned.” Then tell the priest how long it has been since your last confession.
3.
Listen to Scripture. The priest may read a short passage from the Bible, to remind you of God’s mercy, or he may ask you to read something he provides for you.
This reminds us that the main thing we do in the sacrament is to proclaim God’s mercy and forgiveness.
4.
Confess your sins. Listen carefully for spiritual guidance he might offer. Tell the priest your sins. Be as direct and succinct as possible, but give him enough information so he can offer some words of spiritual guidance and encouragement. Take to heart the way the priest is trying to help you.
5.
Receive your penance. The priest will recommend some action, a penance, for you to do to indicate our sorrow and your conversion. It might be to say a prayer, it
might be to do some act of self-denial, or it might be to do some act of charity or service toward someone else. If it sounds too difficult to accomplish or if you
have any questions, do not hesitate to talk it over with him.
6.
Pray an Act of Contrition. The priest will ask you to say a prayer of contrition (sorrow) out loud. You may express your sorrow and your intention to avoid sin in the
future in your own words, or you may use the words of a formal Act of Contrition, either one given to you to read by the priest, or one that you have brought or
memorized. Here is one suggested form: My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I
should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for
us. In his name, my God, have mercy.
7.
Receive absolution. Here is the best part! The priest prays the prayer of absolution proclaiming God's forgiveness of your sins. Reflect on these beautiful and
powerful words said by the priest: God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy
Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve your from your sins in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
8. Conclude by praising God. The priest may say something like, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.” and you may respond, “His mercy endures forever.”
9.
Go forth forgiven, renewed, and changed! Go forth, with God’s help, to begin living your new life in freedom, having been freed from the slavery of sin.
EL AÑO JUBILAR DE LA MISERICORDIA: COMO IR A LA CONFESION
Este lunes, 21 de Marzo, Lunes de Semana Santa, todas las parroquias de la diócesis de Rockville Centre (Brooklyn, y la Arquidiócesis de Nueva
York, también) tendrán sacerdotes disponibles en gran parte del día para la Confesión. El objetivo de proporcionar un tiempo prolongado a los
sacerdotes para escuchar confesiones en este "Día Diocesano de la Reconciliación" es para tener el mayor número posible de personas que celebran el sacramento, quizás especialmente aquellos que han estado fuera de la confesión durante mucho tiempo.
¿Por qué no aprovechar esta oportunidad? Especialmente si usted no se confiesa desde hace 5 ó 10 ó 20 años (o incluso más), ésta es una gran
oportunidad. Le garantizamos una cálida bienvenida! Le prometemos una experiencia de alegría! Le prometemos que va a tener un encuentro con
Jesús, que le hará sentir mejor de lo que se ha sentido en mucho, mucho tiempo!
En caso de que se sienta un poco olvidado en ir al Sacramento de la Penitencia, aquí hay algunos pasos básicos que usted debe seguir. No se
preocupe demasiado por el "cómo", sin embargo; el sacerdote estará muy dispuesto a ayudarlo, si se le explica que está nervioso o no está familiarizado con el rito.
1. Prepararse con anticipación. Asegúr ese que usted tenga un tiempo par a examinar su conciencia, r ecor dando en or ación sus pecados y
preparando lo que le quiere decir al sacerdote. Piense en actos específicos, patrones generales y actitudes. Pedir la guía del Espíritu Santo.
2. Ir al Sacerdote. Usted puede ir de for ma anónima detr ás de una pantalla o cor tina, o puede ir car a a car a. Es de ayuda, si empieza
haciendo la señal de la cruz y diciéndo: "Bendíceme Padre, porque he pecado". Entonces el sacerdote le preguntará cuánto tiempo ha pasado
desde su última confesión.
3.Escuchar la Escritura. El sacer dote puede leer un br eve pasaje de la Biblia, par a r ecor dar le la miser icor dia de Dios, o le puede pedir
que lea algo que él le proveerá. Esto nos recuerda que lo más importante que hacemos en el Sacramento es proclamar la misericordia y el
perdón de Dios.
4. Confiese sus pecados. Escuche atentamente la guía espir itual que le puede ofr ecer . Diga al sacer dote sus pecados. Sea lo más dir ecto y
sucinto posible, pero dele suficiente información para que él pueda ofrecerle algunas palabras de guía espiritual y aliento. Tome en serio la
forma en que el sacerdote está tratando de ayudarle.
5. Recibir su penitencia. El sacer dote le r ecomendar á algún tipo de acción, una penitencia, par a que usted pueda mostr ar su dolor y con
versión. Podría ser dicha una oración, podría ser algún acto de negación de sí mismo, podría ser algún acto de caridad o servicio hacia otra
persona. Si parece demasiado difícil lograrlo o si tiene alguna pregunta, No dude en hablar de ello con el sacerdote.
6. Rece un acto de contrición. El sacer dote le pedir á decir una or ación de contr ición (dolor ) en voz alta. Usted puede expr esar ensus pr o
pias palabras su tristeza y su intención de evitar el pecado en el futuro, o puede utilizar las palabras de un acto formal de contrición, ya sea uno
que el sacerdote le asignó a leer, o uno que ha traído o ha memorizado. Aquí sugerimos una forma: Dios mío, lo siento por mis pecados con todo
mi corazón. En la elección de hacer mal y no poder hacer bueno, he pecado contra ti a quien debo amar sobre todas las cosas. Propongo firmemente,
con su ayuda, hacer penitencia, no volver a pecar, y huir de las ocasiones de pecado. Nuestro Salvador Jesucristo sufrió y murió por nosotros. En su
nombre, Dios mío, ten piedad.
7. Recibir la absolución. Aquí está la mejor par te! El sacer dote r eza la or ación de absolución pr oclamando el per dón de Dios a los pecados. Reflexionar sobre estas palabras bellas y poderosas dichas por el sacerdote: Dios, el Padre de Misericordia, a través de la muerte y resurrect
ción de su Hijo ha reconciliado el mundo consigo mismo y enviado al Espiritu Santo para el perdón de los pecados en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo
y del Espiritu Santo.
8. Concluir alabando a Dios. El sacer dote puede decir algo como: “Dad gracias a Dios, porque él es Bueno”. Y usted puede responder, “siempre
es su misericordia”.
9. Andá, perdonado, renovado y cambiado! Sigue Adelante, con la ayuda de Dios, par a comenzar a vivir tu nueva vida en liber tad, habiendo sido libertado de la esclavitud del pecado.
