Regular Sessions Session 1: 8:30 – 9:45am Session 2:10:30 – 11:45am This Sunday, 20 parishioners assemble publicly for the first time in the Rite of Acceptance in the order of catechumens. They declare their intention to the Church and the Church in turn, carrying out its apostolic mission, accepts them as persons who intend to become its members. God showers his grace on the candidates, since the celebration manifests their desire publicly and marks their reception and first consecration by the Church. From this time on the Church embraces the catechumens as its own with a mother’s love and concern. Please keep them in your prayers as they move toward the Sacraments of Initiation at Easter.

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. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may 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 for ever and ever. Amen. ORACION PARA EL AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA Señor Jesucristo, Tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordioso como el Padre celestial, y nos han dicho que todo aquel que ve, ve a El Muéstranos tu rostro y seremos salvados. Su mirada amorosa liberó Zaqueo y Mateo de ser esclavizados por el dinero; la adúltera y Magdalena de búscar la felicidad sólo en las cosas creadas; hizo a Pedro llorar después de su traición, y aseguro el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Oigamos, como si se dirigio a cada uno de nosotros, las palabras que habló a la mujer samaritana: "Si conocieras el don de Dios!" Tu eres la cara visible del Padre invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su poder por encima de todo por el perdón y la misericordia: dejar que la Iglesia sea la cara visible en el mundo, su Señor resucitado y glorificado. Usted quiso que sus ministros también se vistieron en la debilidad con el fin de que puedan sentir compasión por los en ignorancia y error: deja que todo el que se acerque se sienta buscado, amado y perdonado por Dios. Envía tu Espíritu y consagra a cada uno de nosotros con su unción, para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia pueda ser un año de gracia del Señor, y su Iglesia, con renovado entusiasmo, puede traer buenas nuevas a los pobres, proclamar la liberación a los cautivos y a los oprimidos, y devolver la vista a los ciegos. Te lo pedimos por la intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia, tú que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
