Father Mark-David Janus, CSP, President and Publisher of
Paulist Press and I concelebrated mass with the Pope on
Tuesday, March 17th at his residence at Casa Santa Marta. In
a passionate homily about mercy, he asked: "Who are you
who shuts the door of your heart to a man, a woman who
wants to improve, to return back into the people of God, because the Holy Spirit has stirred his or her heart? If people
are hurt, what does Jesus do? Scolds them because they are
hurt? No, he carries them. This is called mercy."
The theme of mercy in the pope’s homily coincided so well
with the purpose of our meeting. We presented Walter Cardinal Kasper’s newly published Paulist Press book, "Pope
Francis' Revolution of Tenderness and Mercy,” which is
available in the Welcome Center Bookstore.
Only a few days before our arrival, Pope Francis announced
an Extraordinary Jubilee Year dedicated to Mercy beginning
on December 8, 2015. In the spirit of Pope Francis’ theme of
mercy as the hallmark of his papacy, I presented a short film,
“Owning Our Faith” produced by the Out at Saint Paul ministry.
The film documents the experience of gay and lesbian CathoReligious Education

A Word from Servant of God,
Father Isaac Hecker, CSP
Founder of Paulists and
1st Pastor of our Parish
Again, the more energetic & naturally gifted a people, the
more grand under the influence of divine grace will be their
destiny; for grace does not set aside, but answers, purifies,
elevates & invigorates nature. The authority of the Church
does not suppress the liberty of the will, but directs it, enlarges its sphere of action, & consecrates its activity to noble
enterprises.
[“The Present and Future Prospects of the Catholic Faith in
the United States of North America,” December 1857–
January 1858, The Paulist Vocation, p. 268]

Owning Our Faith
Ser propietario de Nuestra Fe
Padre Mark-David Janus, CSP, presidente y
editor de Prensa Paulista y yo concelebramos la misa con el Papa Francisco el martes
17 de marzo en su residencia en la Casa
Santa Marta. En una homilía apasionado
acerca de la misericordia, nos preguntó:
"¿Quién eres tú que cierra la puerta de su
corazón a un hombre, una mujer que quiere
mejorar, para volver de nuevo en el pueblo
de Dios, porque el Espíritu Santo ha suscitado su corazón? Si las personas se ven
perjudicados, ¿qué hace Jesús? les regaña
porque están heridos? No, él los lleva. Esto
se llama misericordia".
El tema de la misericordia en la homilía del
Papa coincidió con el propósito de nuestra reunión. Presentamos el libro recién publicado del Cardenal Walter Kasper, "El
papa Francisco - Revolución de la ternura y el amor."
Sólo unos días antes de nuestra llegada, Francisco anunció un Año Jubileo Extraordinario de la Misericordia a partir del 8 de
diciembre de 2015. En el espíritu del tema de Francisco 'de la misericordia como el sello de su papado, presenté un cortometraje, "Ser propietario Nuestra Fe ", producido por el ministerio de los gays en nuestra parroquia.
La película documenta la experiencia de los católicos gays y lesbianas y su lucha por "poseer su fe." No sé si el Papa va ver
la película, ni tampoco si va a aprobar la película. El Papa aceptó gentilmente la película y pidió a los fieles de San Pablo a
orar por él siempre. En cierto sentido, la película es un reflejo de la misericordia. La película no pretende desafiar enseñanzas de la Iglesia o de proporcionar un enfoque teológico. Compartir las experiencias de los católicos gays y lesbianas es
una parte de la conversación sobre lo que suscita en los corazones de algunos de nuestros hermanos y hermanas.
Proyectaremos "Owning Our Faith” (Ser propietario de Nuestra Fe), subtitulado en español este domingo por la noche a las
6:30 PM en el Centro Parroquial. Algunos de los entrevistados estarán presente en un panel para entablar una conversación.
Paz,
