How can we be merciful like the Fa-ther in this First Week of Advent? The Collect (opening prayer at Mass) asks God to give us the resolve to run forth to meet Christ. So, we begin this new Church year running once more to be with Christ who is coming to us. At this meeting, let us be found doing works of mercy. The Spiritual Works of Mer-cy are: counseling the doubtful, in-

structing the ignorant, admonishing the sinner, com-forting the sorrowful, forgiving injuries, bearing wrongs patiently, and praying for the living and the dead. • Who needs mercy this week? • What right-eous deed of mercy will I do?

Abortion and Christmas Over the last few years, in certain parts of the country, one can give friends and loved ones Planned Parenthood gift certificates. These vouchers can be used towards abortion, various contraceptive devices, or any of Planned Parenthood’s other "family planning" services (a total misno-mer, since the goal of family planning is most definitely not end up with a family). The fact that Planned Parenthood is offering contraception and abortion as a possible gift makes their philosophy about abortion very clear. This is certainly not the action of a group of people who want abortion to be "safe, legal, and rare," as their popular phrase goes. They want the death of the unborn child to be seen as a positive thing, not a regrettable but sometimes "necessary procedure" as they claim. Of course, this is not surprising, since Planned Parenthood makes its profits from abortions; they are just another company trying to aggressively pro-mote their main product. This view of life could not be more opposed to the biblical view. In the biblical world, children are unequivocally seen as wonderful gifts from God: "Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame … " Psalm 127: 4-5 At Christmas time, we celebrate the greatest gift of life to mankind in the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. To associate abortion in any way with the Christmas celebration is abso-lutely antithetical to the entire meaning of Christmas and to our Christian faith.

Aborto y Navidad En los últimos años, en ciertas partes del país, uno puede dar a sus amigos y familiares, certifica-dos de regalos de Planned Parenthood. Estos certificados pueden usarse para aborto, varios artícu-los anticonceptivos, o cualquiera de los otros servicios de “planificación familiar” que ofrece Planned Parenthood (totalmente inadecuado, ya que la meta de la planificación familiar es definitivamente la de no terminar con la fami-lia).. El hecho de que Planned Parenthood este ofreciendo anti-conceptivos y aborto como posible regalo, hace muy clara su filosofía acerca del aborto. Esto ciertamente no es una acción de un grupo de personas que desean que el aborto sea “seguro, legal y raro,” como es la frase popular que usan. Ellos quieren que la muerte del niño no nacido se vea como algo positivo, no como algo deplorable, algunas veces co-mo un “procedimiento necesario” como ellos así lo llaman. Por supuesto, esto no es una sorpresa, ya que Planned Pa-renthood hace su ganancia de los abortos; ellos solamente son como cualquier otra gran compañía que trata agresiva-mente promover su mejor producto. Este modo de ver la vida no puede ser más opuesto a la visión bíblica. En el mundo bíblico los niños son, sin equivo-carse, vistos como un maravilloso regalo de Dios. “Como flechas en manos del guerrero son los hijos de la juventud. Feliz el hombre que con tales flechas ha llenado su alijaba! Sus contrarios no los harán callar…. Salmo 127:4-5 En el tiempo de Navidad, nosotros celebramos el más gran-de de los regalos de vida a la humanidad con el nacimiento del Mesías, Jesucristo. El asociar de alguna manera el aborto con la Navidad, es absolutamente opuesto al ver-dadero significado de la Navidad y a nuestra fe Cristiana.

Primer Domingo de Adviento – 29 de Noviembre del 2015 ¿Cómo podemos ser misericordiosos, como el Padre, en esta Primera Semana de Adviento? La oración colec-ta pide a Dios nos de la firme determinación de ir al en-cuentro de Cristo. Por tanto, iniciamos este nuevo año Li-túrgico (año de la Iglesia, año Eclesial) buscando estar con Cristo, quien viene a nosotros. Que en este encuentro con Él, seamos hallados haciendo obras de misericordia. Las obras espirituales de misericordia son: 1) Enseñar al que no sabe. 2) Dar buen consejo al que lo necesita. 3) Corregir al que está en error. 4) Perdonar las injurias. 5) Consolar al triste. 6) Sufrir con paciencia los defectos de los demás. 7) Rogar a Dios por vivos y difuntos.

¿Quién necesita misericordia esta semana? ¿Qué virtuosa obra de misericordia realizaré yo?

Jubilee Year of Mercy December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, marks the beginning of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Pope Francis, in “Misericordiae Vultus: Bull of Indication of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy,” calls us all to contemplate the gift of God’s mercy throughout salvation history and in our own lives. A year of jubilee is rooted din the Old Testament. The book of Leviticus states that a jubilee should be celebrated every fifty years. In that year slaves were set free and returned to their families, the land was not culti-vated, any property disputes were settled and land was returned to the original owner, and debts were forgiven. Pope Francis chose December 8 as the inauguration date of the jubilee for two reasons. The first is the fact that this day marks the fiftieth anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council. The second reason is that the first reading of the solemnity recalls the sing of our parents, Adam and Eve, which eventually would lead to the sending of God’s only Son, who is our redeemer. This is the extraordinary outpouring of mercy from a loving Father upon his children. Doors play an important role in the Jubilee Year of Mercy. The “Holy Door” at Saint Pe-ter’s Basilica in the Vatican will be opened by Pope Francis on December 8. The following Sun-day, another holy door will be opened at the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, the cathedral of the diocese of Rome, Pope Francis’ own cathedral as the bishop of Rome. At that time, the Holy Father will announce that holy doors of mercy will be opened in every diocese around the world; that’s 640 archdioceses and 2,206 dioceses! The pope will also ask that a door at special places where Catholics make pilgrimages be designated a door or mercy as well. What a wonderful symbol of the limitless possibilities to know God’s mercy! The faithful are encouraged to pass through the doors of mercy during this extraordinary year. These acts are really pil-grimages for Catholics, even if it simply means making one’s way to the local diocesan cathedral or a Catholic site with a designated door of mercy. Pope Francis outlines what the Lord Jesus himself shows us as the steps along the pilgrimage of mercy. He quotes the words of the Lord from a passage in Saint Luke’s Gospel: “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgive, give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you” (6:37-38). This Jubilee Year of Mercy summons us, then, to turn to our God, the God of infinite mercy to ask forgiveness and to give praise for God’s boundless gift of mercy, the Holy Father also asks us to be instruments of mercy ourselves in imitation of the mercy poured out on us. Specifically Pope Francis asks us to forgive. In what ways will you show mercy in this Jubilee Year of Mercy? How will you “give and forgive”? Whom might you be called to forgive? Whom might you be called to stop condemning? Might you be called to forgive yourself? A jubilee year is something that can help change our lives as Catholics. The fact that all these doors of mercy will be opened all over the world is a sign that we are a universal church, the people of God who are never alone on our pilgrimage. Let us hold one another in prayer, under the mantle of mercy as this extraordinary year unfolds.

Jubilee Year of Mercy November 29, 2015 First Sunday of Advent Besides a new liturgical year, this Advent features an addi-tional “beginning”—next week’s opening of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, a graced opportunity to contemplate more pro-foundly and live more concretely the mystery of God’s uncon-ditional love. Pope Francis says that mercy, as the bridge connecting God and the human family, opens our hearts to welcome God’s love for us sinners and our eyes to recognize others, especially society’s least loved and most vulnerable, as brothers and sisters entrusted to our care. Today’s scrip-tures provide a perfect Jubilee preparation. Jeremiah com-forts us with the promise of God’s justice; Paul challenges us to abound in love for all; Luke bids us anticipate Jesus’ future coming as the joyful advent of our redemption. But in a unique way, this Jubilee Year’s Advent reminds us that Jesus, whose coming we await, is already present among us, in those for whom we need to become instruments of God’s mercy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 29 de noviembre de 2015 Primer Domingo de Adviento

Además de un Año Nuevo Litúrgico, este Adviento se caracteriza por incluir otro “comienzo”; la próxima semana es la inauguración del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, un tiempo de gracia para contemplar más profundamente y vivir más concretamente los misterios incondicionales del amor de Dios. El Papa Francisco dice que la misericordia, así como el puente que conecta a Dios con la familia humana, abre nuestros cora-zones para dar la bienvenida al amor de Dios por nosotros pecadores y abre nuestros ojos para reconocer al prójimo, especialmente en los menos amados por la sociedad y los más vulnerables, como hermanos y hermanas confiados a nuestro cuidado. Las Escrituras de este día facilitan una perfecta pre-paración para el Jubileo. Jeremías nos consuela con la prome-sa de la justicia de Dios; Pablo nos desafía para prosperar en el amor por todos, mientras que Lucas se esfuerza por anticiparnos el futuro de la venida de Jesús como el alegre adviento de nuestra redención. Pero de una única manera, el Adviento de este Año Jubilar nos recuerda que Jesús, de quien espera-mos su venida, está ya presente en me-dio de nosotros, en aquellas personas para las que necesitamos convertirnos en instrumentos de la misericordia de Dios. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
