TheYearofMercy MercyhasbeenastrongemphasisofPope Francis.HehasrecentlydeclaredaHolyYearof Mercy,duringwhichhecallsallCatholicsto“be merciful,justasyourFatherismerciful.”(Lk.6:36). ThisJubileeYearistobecelebratedfromDec.8, 2015,theFeastoftheImmaculateConception,to Nov.20,2016,theFeastofChristtheKing.Francisis alsoaddinganothertitleforJesus,“thelivingfaceof themercyoftheFather.” WhatisMERCY?MytrustWebster’sNew WorldDictionary(1994ed.)hassixentries:1.A refrainingfromharmingorpunishingoffenders, enemies,personsinone’spower,etc.;kindnessin excessofwhatmaybeexpectedordemandedby fairness;forbearanceandcompassion.2. imprisonmentratherthanthedeathpenalty imposedonthosefoundguiltyofcapitalcrimes;3.a dispositiontoforgive,pity,orbekind;4.thepower toforgiveorbekind;clemency;5.kindor compassionatetreatment;reliefofsuffering;6.a fortunatething,thingtobegratefulfor;blessing.I seePopeFrancisasstrivingtopromoteandpractice allsixofthesede initions. IsFrancissimplylenient?NO.Leniency indicatesthatthepersonistooeasyonapersonor personswhodeservesharshorseverepunishment. Francisdesirestoemphasize:“ItismercyIwantand notsacri ice.”(Cf.Matt.9:13andHos.6:6);andto emphasizethatGod’smercyisaboveallhisworks. (Cf.Ps.145:9andmultipleotherpassagesfromthe entireBible.) Manyrighteouspeopletakepartinreligious practices,yettheirheartsdonotseektoknowGod, loveGod,orlistentoGod’svoiceinprayer.Asa result,theypracticemeaninglessrituals.(Cf.Jesus’ quotationofIs.29:13inMatt.15:8-9.)Godis concernedmoreabouttherelationshipoffriendship withusthanaboutthethingswedoinGod’sname. ThisisthereligiousformalismwhichIsaiahrails againstinIs.1:2-26,andwhichJesusdenouncesin Matt.23:1-36. InhisinterviewwithFr.AntonioSpadaro,S.J., irstpublishedSept.13,2013inLaCiviltaCattolica, PopeFrancisstates:“Iseeclearlythatthethingthe churchneedsmosttodayistheabilitytoheal woundsandtowarmtheheartsofthefaithful;it needsnearness,proximity.Iseethechurchasa ield hospitalafterbattle.Itisuselesstoaskaseriously injuredpersonifhehashighcholesterolandabout thelevelofhisbloodsugars!Youhavetohealhis wounds.Thenwecantalkabouteverythingelse.

PenitentsaremovedbyGodtocomeandseekGod’s forgiveness.Ordinarily,theyareunawarethatGodis givingthemthegracetocometoapriest;Godis moredesirousofgrantingforgivenessthanthe penitentsareofseekingandacceptingGod’s forgiveness.Burdensareremovedfromtheir shouldersand,especially,fromtheirhearts;they leavetheconfessionalinamazementthatGodhas notonlyforgivenalloftheirsinsbutthatGodno longerrememberstheirsins.(Is.43:25;Ex.16:63) WhenweexperienceGod’sgraciousmercy,itmakes itmucheasierforustoextendmercyto“thosewho havetrespassedagainstus.” (Fr.Dominic) PARISH SPIRITUAL LIFE RCIAInquiry Thursday,December17that7:00PM CatholicPrayer IgnatianPrayer PresentedbyFr.Dominic AdventPenance Service Monday,Dec.14th at7pmintheDay Chapel AdventMeditationService Tuesday,Dec.15that7pmintheDay Chapel Fr.Frankwouldliketoshareanonlineresource withtheParish."TheWednesdayWord"isa resourcetoencounterChristbyprayerfully preparingfortheSundayMass.Theresourcescan befoundonlineathttp:// www.wednesdayword.org/parish/resources.htm.

Juan, cuya vocación única es ir delante de Jesús para que su camino se prepare. Juan, por cuyo testimonio anticipa la acción y las enseñanzas de su Señor. Juan, cuya humildad siempre destaca a la persona de Jesús y que nunca llama la atención hacia sí mismo. La iglesia nos ofrece aquel ejemplo de Juan hoy para que más plenamente podamos entrar en el espíritu de la fiesta del nacimiento de Jesús. La gente estaba en gran expectativa, y se preguntaba si tal vez Juan sería el Mesías; pero Juan les dijo a todos: “Yo, en verdad, los bautizo con agua; pero viene uno que los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo y con fuego. Él es más poderoso que yo, que ni siquiera merezco desatarle la correa de sus sandalias.” Todavía todos nosotros recordamos la visita de Francisco a nuestro país. Entre todos los acontecimientos y todas las charlas y homilías, lo que es más memorable a muchos de nosotros fue la humildad del peregrino. Todo estaba enfocado en el Señor. Francisco nos recordó, una y otra vez, que la razón de todo su ministerio es que Cristo sea proclamado. Como Juan, el Santo Padre repitió muchas veces que él no mereció desatarle la correa de sus sandalias. El que tenga dos trajes, dele uno al que no tiene ninguno; y el que tenga comida, compártala con el que no la tiene. No cobren más de lo que deben cobrar. No le quiten nada a nadie, ni con amenazas ni acusándolo de algo que no haya hecho; y confórmense con su sueldo. Los consejos que Juan dio a los que vinieron a pedirle bautismo se hicieron eco de lo que iba a enseñar su modelo. Francisco, que se ocupó de muchísimos temas y problemas del mundo moderno, siempre tenía la misma actitud de Juan y de Jesús, - generosidad, honestidad, y una gentileza no violenta. La constancia del Papa nos hizo pensar bíblicamente, a volver a nuestras raíces de la fe y de nuevo afirmar nuestra fidelidad a los principios evangélicos que aprendimos en nuestros primeros encuentros con el Señor Jesús. De este modo, y con otros muchos consejos, Juan anunciaba la buena noticia a la gente. La atracción de Juan que experimentaron los que lo escucharon fue la claridad, la sencillez, y la sinceridad de su mensaje. Lo que causó tanta gente a alabar y ratificar tanto el mensaje de Francisco como al hombre mismo fue la misma frescura de expresión, la misma espontaneidad con todas las personas encontradas en sus viajes a Nueva York, Filadelfia y Washington, la misma constancia entre lo que dijo y su comportamiento diario. En Francisco, realmente encontramos a un nuevo Juan el Bautista que quiere mostrarnos un camino seguro de seguir a nuestro Hermano y a nuestro Dios. La visita del Papa es una memoria ahora pero una memoria que puede estimularnos en nuestra preparación para la celebración de la Navidad. Dios se hizo carne para que podamos vivir alegremente nuestras vidas humanas y compartir nuestra esperanza en la aventura humana con un mundo que desesperadamente necesita sentir aquella esperanza. Con su espíritu humilde, con su testimonio honesto, con su contento de ser el precursor de la buena nueva de la salvación Juan se está presentado litúrgicamente durante estos días para animarnos en nuestros deseos de seguir a Jesús, nacido de nuevo en Belén. En Francisco tenemos el símbolo concreto que nuestra fe bíblica se pueda vivir y que la misma salvación se pueda gustar en nuestras vidas de cada día. P.
