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.
Adaptada de la oración escrita por el Papa Francisco.

Excerpt from the Summary of the USCCB (U.S. Cath-olic Conference of Bishops) Document: FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP (a guide for Catholics on how to vote) What Public Policies Should Concern Catholics Most? As Catholics, we are led to raise questions about political life other than those that concentrate on individual, ma-terial well-being. We focus more broadly on what protects or threatens the dignity of every human life. Catholic teaching challenges voters and candidates, citizens and elected officials, to consider the moral and ethical dimen-sions of public policy issues. In light of ethical principles, we bishops offer the following policy goals that we hope will guide Catholics as they form their consciences and reflect on the moral dimensions of their public choices: a) Address the preeminent requirement to protect human life—by restricting and bringing to an end the destruction of unborn children through abortion and providing women in crisis pregnancies with the supports they need. End the following practices: the use of euthanasia and assisted suicide to deal with the burdens of illness and disability; the destruction of human embryos in the name of re-search; the use of the death penalty to combat crime; and the imprudent resort to war to address international dis-putes. • b) Protect the fundamental understanding of marriage as the life-long and faithful union of one man and one woman as the central institution of society; promote the complementarity of the sexes and reject false “gender” ideologies; provide better support for family life morally, socially, and economically, so that our nation helps parents raise their children with respect for life, sound moral values, and an ethic of stewardship and responsibility.• c) Achieve comprehensive immigration reform that of-fers a path to citizenship, treats immigrant workers fair-ly, prevents the separation of families, maintains the in-tegrity of our borders, respects the rule of law, and ad-dresses the factors that compel people to leave their own countries. • d) Help families and children overcome poverty and ensure access to and choice in education, as well as de-cent work at fair, living wages and adequate assistance for the vulnerable in our nation, while also helping to over-come widespread hunger and poverty around the world, especially in the policy areas of development assistance, debt relief, and international trade. • e) Ensure full conscience protection and religious free-dom for individuals and groups to meet social needs, and so enable families, community groups, economic struc-tures, and government to work together to overcome pov-erty, pursue the common good, and care for creation. • f) Provide health care while respecting human life, hu-man dignity, and religious freedom in our health care sys-tem. • Continue to oppose policies that reflect racism, hostility toward immigrants, religious bigotry, and other forms of unjust discrimination. • g) Establish and comply with moral limits on the use of military force—examining for what purposes it may be used, under what authority, and at what human cost— with a special view to seeking a responsible and effective response for ending the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East and other parts of the world. • Join with others around the world to pursue peace, protect human rights and religious liberty, and advance economic justice and care for creation.
Fragmento del sumario de la USCCB (Conferencia Católica de los Obispos de EE.UU.) Documento: CIUDADANÍA FIEL (una guía para los católicos sobre cómo votar) ¿Qué políticas públicas deben preocupar más a los Católicos? Como Católicos, nos planteamos preguntas acerca de la vida política distintas a las que se concentran en el bienestar material de individuos. Nos enfocamos más ampliamente en lo que nos protege o amenaza la dignidad de cada vida humana. Las ense-ñanzas Católicas retan a los votantes y candidatos, ciudadanos y funcionarios electos, a considerar las dimensiones morales y ética de los asuntos de las políticas públicas. A la luz de los prin-cipios éticos, los obispos ofrecen los siguientes objetivos de política que esperamos guiará a los católicos, a que formen su conciencia y reflexionen sobre las dimensiones morales de sus opciones públicas: a) Abordar el requisito principal para proteger la vida huma-na – restringiendo y llevando a su fin a la destrucción de los niños no nacidos mediante el aborto y proporcionando a las mu-jeres con embarazos en crisis con los apoyos que necesitan. Terminar con las prácticas siguientes: el uso de la eutanasia y el suicidio asistido para hacer frente a la carga de la enfermedad y discapacidad; la destrucción de embriones humanos en nombre de la investigación; el uso de la pena de muerte para combatir el crimen; y al recurso imprudente a la guerra para hacer frente a los conflictos internacionales. b) Proteger la comprensión fundamental del matrimonio como la unión de por vida y fiel de un hombre y una mujer como la institución central de la sociedad; promover la complementa-riedad de los sexos y rechazar las falsas ideologías "de género"; proporcionar un mejor apoyo a la vida familiar moral, social y económicamente, por lo que nuestra nación ayuda a los padres para criar a sus hijos con respeto a la vida, los valores morales sólidos, y una ética de administración y responsabilidad. c) Lograr una reforma migratoria comprensiva que ofrezca un camino a la ciudadanía, trato a los trabajadores inmigrantes de manera justa, impedir la separación de las familias, mantener la integridad de nuestras fronteras, respetar las leyes, y abordar los factores que obligan a las personas a abandonar sus propios países. d) Ayudar a familias y niños a superar la pobreza y garanti-zar el acceso a elegir una educación, así como un trabajo de-cente y justo, salarios dignos y asistencia adecuada para los más vulnerables en nuestra nación, mientras que también ayu-dar a superar el hambre y la pobreza generalizada en todo el mundo, especialmente en las áreas de la política de ayuda al desarrollo, alivio de la deuda, y el comercio internacional. e) Asegurar la plena protección de conciencia y la libertad religiosa de los individuos y grupos para satisfacer las ne-cesidades sociales, y así permitir a las familias, grupos comuni-tarios, estructuras económicas, y que el gobierno trabaje unido para superar la pobreza, buscar el bien común, y cuidar de la creación. f) Proporcionar cuidado de salud mientras respetamos la vida humana, la dignidad humana y la libertad religiosa en nues-tro sistema del cuidado de la salud. • Continuar oponiéndonos a las políticas que reflejan el racismo, la hostilidad hacia los inmi-grantes, la intolerancia religiosa, y otras formas de discrimina-ción injusta. g) Establecer y cumplir con los límites morales en el uso de la fuerza militar – examinando con qué propósito puede ser usada, bajo qué autoridad, y a qué costo humano - con una vi-sión especial en la búsqueda de una respuesta responsable y eficaz para poner fin a la persecución de los Cristianos y otras minorías religiosas en el Oriente Medio y otras partes del mun-do. • Unirnos con otros alrededor del mundo para buscar la paz, proteger los derechos humanos y la libertad religiosa, y avanzar en la justicia económica y el cuidado por la creación.

PRAYER OF ST. GIANNA BERETTA MOLLA You, Lord Jesus, were for Gianna a splendid example. She learned to recognize you in the beauty of nature. As she was questioning her choice of vocation, she went in search of you and the best way to serve you. Through her married love she became a sign of Your love for the Church and for humanity. Like you, the Good Samaritan, she cared for everyone Who was sick, small or weak. Following your example, Out of love she gave herself entirely. Generating new life. AMEN
Lectio Divina: is a form of prayer using Sacred Scripture. It is a four step process, using Scripture as its basis to get to know our Lord in a more profound way. It is a process that was developed by St. Benedict and can be used in individual prayer or in a group.
4 STEPS: READ, MEDITATE, PRAY, CONTEMPLATE
BEGIN WITH A PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT: Come Holy Spirit, illuminate my mind, open my heart so I can encounter in your Word Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life…..Help me follow today, the call of Christ in a new way, according to your word. And let me be for all in the world, one who is sent by the Lord, let me be a brother/sister, let me be a friend, let me be a disciple of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
STEP 1: READ: What does the Biblical Text Say? At the most basic level: What is going on in this Scriptural passage? You have to identify a WORD, PHRASE, IDEA that touches your heart….that the Lord places in your heart….. FIRST READING: read the text out loud slowly and intentionally. REFLECTION: take several minutes to reflect on the reading and allow the Holy Spirit to surface a WORD, A PHRASE, AN IDEA/CONCEPT that is central to the meaning of the text for you (What is the Biblical text saying?). INTERNALIZE: repeat the word or phrase either out loud or in your heart.
STEP 2: MEDITATE: What is Jesus saying to me personally through this Scripture Text? What does God want me to know or see through this Scripture Text. How does this text speak to my experience in life? SECOND READING: read the same passage again. MEDITATION: take several minutes to reflect on the question: What is Jesus saying to me personally through this Scripture Text?
STEP 3: PRAY: My Lord has spoken to me in the Scriptural Text: What do I want to say back to him in Prayer? THIRD READING: may want to re-read the same passage again. REFLECTION: Jesus has spoken to me personally in this Scriptural text. What do I want to say to my Lord in Prayer? PRAYER: say your prayer to our Lord either out loud or interiorly.
STEP 4: CONTEMPLATE / ACT: As a result of my prayer, what is Jesus calling me to DO (this week) as a result of this process? Finally, our prayer calls us to action ultimately to be more compassionate and faithful. CONTEMPLATE: on what our Lord is calling you to do as a result of this process.
Lectio Divina: es una forma de oración utilizando las Sagradas Escrituras. Se trata de un proceso de cuatro pasos, usando las Escrituras como base para conocer a nuestro Señor en una forma más profunda. Fue un proceso desarrollado por San Benedicto y se puede utilizar como oración individual o grupal.
4 PASOS: LEER, MEDITAR, ORAR, CONTEMPLAR
COMENZAR CON UNA ORACIÓN AL ESPÍRITU SANTO: Ven, Espíritu Santo, ilumina mi mente, abre mi corazón para que yo pueda encontrar en la Palabra a Cristo, el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida……. Ayúdame a seguir hoy, la llamada de Cristo de una manera nueva, conforme a tu palabra. Y lo digo por todos en el mundo, uno quien es enviado por el Señor, quiero ser un hermano/hermana, un amigo, ahora voy a ser un discípulo del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Amén. PASO 1: LEER: ¿Qué dice el texto bíblico? En el nivel más básico: ¿Qué está pasando en este pasaje bíblico? Usted tiene que identificar una PALABRA, FRASE, IDEA que toca su corazón…..que el Señor pone en tu corazón….. PRIMERA LECTURA: lea el texto en voz alta lenta y deliberadamente. REFLEXIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la lectura y permitir que el Espíritu Santo le revele UNA PALABRA, UNA FRASE, UNA IDEA/CONCEPTO que es el centro del significado del texto para usted (¿Qué le está diciendo el texto bíblico?). INTERNALIZAR: repetir la palabra o frase en voz alta o en su corazón. PASO 2: MEDITAR: ¿Qué me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través del texto de la Escritura? ¿Qué es lo que Dios quiere que conozca o vea a través del texto de la Escritura? ¿Cómo este texto me habla a mi experiencia en la vida? SEGUNDA LECTURA: leer el mismo pasaje. MEDITACIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la pregunta: ¿Qué me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través de este texto de la Escritura? PASO 3: ORAR: Mi Señor me ha hablado en el texto Bíblico: ¿Qué es lo que le quiero decir a Dios en oración? TERCERA LECTURA: puede volver a leer el mismo pasaje. REFLEXIÓN: Jesús me ha hablado personalmente en este texto Bíblico. ¿Qué quiero decir a mi Señor en oración? ORACIÓN: diga su oración a Señor ya sea en voz alta o interiormente. PASO 4: CONTEMPLAR / ACTUAR: Como resultado de mi oración, ¿A qué Jesús me está llamando HACER (esta semana) como resultado de este proceso? Por último, nuestra oración nos invita a la acción, en definitiva, a ser más compasivo y fiel. CONTEMPLAR: en lo que nuestro Señor está llamándome hacer como resultado de este proceso.
