JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
LITURGY SERVICES
In his Apostolic exhortaon, Amoris Laea
(The Joy of the Gospel), Pope Francis writes: Masses
Weekend
No one can think that the weakening of the family as that
natural society founded on marriage will prove beneficial to
society as a whole. The contrary is true: it poses a threat to the
mature growth of individuals, the cultivation of community values
and the moral progress of cities and countries. There is a failure to
realize that only the exclusive and indissoluble union between a
man and a woman has a plenary role to play in society as a stable
commitment that bears fruit in new life. We need to acknowledge
the great variety of family situations that can offer a certain
stability, but de facto or sameͲsex unions, for example, may not
simply be equated with marriage. No union that is temporary or
closed to the transmission of life can ensure the future of society.
But nowadays who is making an effort to strengthen marriages, to
help married couples overcome their problems, to assist them in
the work of raising children and, in general, to encourage the
stability of the marriage bond?

eternally rewarding. We need strong men and women
who are willing to share their faith and experiences with
others. You don’t need to be a theologian to be an RCIA
sponsor! You just need to have a heart for others and for
the Church. God is calling some of our community to be
RCIA sponsors this year. Is he calling you? If you’re interested in being a sponsor, contact

AÑO JUBILAR DE LA MISERICORDIA
En su exhortación Apostólicam, Amoris Laea
(La alegría del Evangelio), el Papa Francisco escribe…
fin de semana
Nadie puede pensar que debilitar a la familia como sociedad natural
fundada en el matrimonio es algo que favorece a la sociedad. Ocurre lo
contrario: perjudica la maduración de las personas, el culvo de los
valores comunitarios y el desarrollo éco de las ciudades y de los pueblos. Ya no se advierte con claridad que sólo la unión exclusiva e indisoluble entre un varón y una mujer cumple una función social plena, por
ser un compromiso estable y por hacer posible la fecundidad. Debemos
reconocer la gran variedad de situaciones familiares que pueden brindar cierta estabilidad, pero las uniones de hecho o entre personas del
mismo sexo, por ejemplo, no pueden equipararse sin más al matrimonio. Ninguna unión precaria o cerrada a la comunicación de la vida nos
asegura el futuro de la sociedad. Pero ¿quiénes se ocupan hoy de fortalecer los matrimonios, de ayudarles a superar los riesgos que los amenazan, de acompañarlos en su rol educavo, de esmular la estabilidad
de la unión conyugal?

Seguir a Jesús significa
aceptar su proyecto…
Jesús tiene un proyecto,
una misión: anunciar y
realizar el Reino de Dios
(Mc 1,15). Este es el plan
que el Padre le ha encomendado, formar una
gran familia de hijos y
hermanos, un hogar, una
humanidad nueva, los
nuevos cielos y la nueva
tierra que los profetas
habían predicho (Is 65, 17Ͳ
25). Esta es la gran Utopía
de Dios, el auténtico paraíso descrito simbólicamente en el Génesis (Gen 1Ͳ2), donde la humanidad vivirá reconciliada con la
naturaleza, entre sí y con Dios, de modo que el hombre sea señor del
mundo, hermano de las personas e hijo de Dios (DP 322). Esta gran
Buena Nocia es algo integral, ya que abarca a toda la persona
humana (alma y cuerpo), a todo el mundo (personas y comunidades) y
aunque consumará en el más allá, debe comenzar ya aquí en nuestra
historia. Este Reino de Dios es liberación de todo lo que oprime a la
humanidad, del pecado y del Maligno (EN 9). Es en este contexto que
ene sendo explicar y aprender el Padre Nuestro, como se hacía en el
antiguo catecumenado. El Padre Nuestro no es sólo una fórmula para
orar, sino un compendio del programa de Jesús. El Reino del Padre, el
cumplimiento de su voluntad, un mundo donde haya pan y perdón,
liberado de todo al y victorioso de toda tentación. En ello el Padre es
glorificado, pues la gloria de Dios consiste en que el Reino de Dios
venga a la humanidad y todo el mundo viva como hijo del Padre.

Las parábolas del Reino hablan de esta gran Utopía de Dios como un
tesoro y una perla, por cuya adquisición vale la pena venderlo todo
(Mt 13,44Ͳ46). Los Apóstoles ante el proyecto de Jesús, dejan sus
barcas y redes y le siguen (Lc 5,11), mientras que el joven rico se alejó
triste de Jesús porque tenía muchas riquezas y no quería aceptar el
proyecto de fraternidad universal de Jesús (Mt 19,22). Para seguir a
Jesús las riquezas son un gran impedimento (Mt 19,23Ͳ21; Lc 6,24Ͳ26;
12,13Ͳ24), lo cual contrasta con la opinión y la prácca de muchos
ricos de América Lana, que se consideran muy crisanos.
