JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY DECEMBER 2015—NOVEMBER 2016

Weekly Message

Rejoice in the Lord Always

Today, the third Sunday of Advent, is Gaudete Sunday, the joyful or rejoicing Sunday. Our entrance antiphon invites us to rejoice always. In fact, this is not just an invitation but a command to be joyful. We show our joy in our liturgy today as we light the rose candle of the Advent wreath. The child Jesus brings joy to the world, and we are commanded to show that joy in all that we do or say. Advent, the season of hope, prepares us for the joy of Christmas, and because we know that our Joy is in Christ, we wait in hope for his coming. A

joyful heart does not depend on material wealth or status; rather, joy comes from knowing that our savior Jesus Christ has “removed the judgment against us and has turned away our enemies” (Zeph. 3:15). It is about giving part of ourselves for others, our families, our church and our community. In today’s gospel (Luke 3:10-18), people came to John the Baptist and asked him what they must do to share in the kingdom. The question was not about others but rather about themselves. They wanted to know their purpose in life and their role in the kingdom. As we prepare for Christmas, we should also be asking the same question: What am I to do, what are we to do, as we wait for the coming of the kingdom? The answer that John the Baptist gave to the people then, he gives to us now. Each of us must see where we can correct the mistakes we have made and bring joy to people’s hearts. We must avoid cheating and exploiting others. We are to be charitable, giving to the poor from what we have. We are called to be hon-est, not using our positions to enrich ourselves. We are to avoid harassing and intimidating people as the soldiers do. As we begin the Year of Mercy, Pope Francis invites us to reflect on ways in which we can show the mercy of God to other people. We are to practice both the Corporal and the Spiritual Works of Mercy. Maybe we can begin by just reminding ourselves what these are and how we can practice them.

Corporal Works of Mercy are: 1. Feed the hungry;

2. Give drink to the thirsty; 3. Clothe the naked;

4. Shelter the homeless; 5. Visit the sick;

6. Visit the imprisoned; 7. Bury the dead.

Spiritual Works of Mercy are:

1. Instruct the ignorant; 2. Counsel the doubtful;

3. Admonish sinners; 4. Bear wrongs patiently;

5. Forgive offenses willingly; 6. Comfort the sorrowful;

7. Pray for the living and the dead.

The world needs to change for the better, and we are the ones to make it happen. Let us put a smile on the face of someone who is troubled. John the Baptist challenged those who came to him to be a people of love and compassion. He also challenges us. He challenges us to adopt a whole new attitude in life, one that thinks of the good of others. This is what will draw others to the kingdom, and our joy will overflow for helping someone along the way. Have a blessed Gaudete Sunday!!

—Fr Felix P. 2

Jubilee Year of Mercy

Pope Francis chose to inaugurate the Jubilee Year of Mercy last Tues-day because December 8 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the closing of Vatican II. That council, Pope Francis reminds us, inaugurated a new

phase in the Church’s history. The Spirit called the Church to tear down the walls that for far too long had made it a fortress, and to proclaim the gospel in a new, more accessible way. Pope Francis quotes Saint John XXIII in declaring the Church’s preference for “the medicine of mercy,” and Blessed Paul VI in propos-ing the Good Samaritan as our model for discipleship (Misericordiae Vultus, 4). Pope Francis adds that God’s mercy is “the beating heart of the Gospel,” and that mercy “must penetrate the heart and mind” of every disciple (MV, 12). Three times today’s Gospel asks, “What should I do?” Pope Francis would say: Imitate Jesus, who came not wielding the fiery judgment that John the Baptist had threatened, but instead imparting healing, compassion, forgiveness—mercy!

Annual Christmas Matching Fund

Our parish has grown so much from modest beginnings. We have wonderful parish facilities and have added to it

by acquiring the former Lakeland Baptist Church on Isaacks Rd. Our church, school, Family Life Center, and offices provide comfortable spaces to worship and minis-ter to our spiritual needs, but just like your home, these

facilities come at a cost. We have expenses, for our mort-gage, utilities, and general upkeep. We also have a won-derful staff to assist you in pursuing your faith. Our life journey is a walk in faith, from birth/baptism, to death,

and we are intertwined with our church. Since everyone benefits from these facilities, it is important that all mem-

bers of this parish help in the financial cost.

We are once again blessed this year to have a number of parishioners who agreed to match your Christmas dona-tions. Please include St. Mary Magdalene on your Christ-

mas list. Prayerfully consider and make a meaningful Christmas gift this year. The value of your gift will be doubled, and you can continue to enjoy our beautiful facilities with pride. God

bless your generosity!

St. Mary Magdalene will be holding a joint penance service together with St. Martha on Thursday, December 17th. All

parishioners are invited and encouraged to attend this service at St. Martha’s campus.

The Year of Mercy Welcomed on December 8, 2015

Participate in the Year of Mercy! Go to the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: www.usccb.org. Visit the Year of Mercy pages. Throughout the year, Pope Francis will do "Jubilee" signs of mercy. Find out what they are and how you can do something similar in your life! Find short monthly suggestions for working mercy into your everyday life. Learn more about the Corporal Works of Mercy and the Spiritual Works of Mercy and how you can live them. Reflect more deeply on God's call to mercy through these monthly scripture reflections. Do them on your own, with family, or with small groups. Want to share where you see Mercy in Motion? Check out our social media pages to see what others are doing to put mercy in motion: on Twitter: #mercyinmotion.

How can we show others the mercy of God? We say that God is compassionate, but we ignore the poor. We say that God loves us and has mercy on us, but we hold

grudges against our friends. Our actions need to authentically reflect God's mercy. Click below to explore the different ways that you can live out that mercy every day!

Joy is the Fruit of Mercy Ivana Meshell, Director of Adult Faith Formation We are at the beginning of an auspicious year in the Catholic Church throughout the world. Pope Francis has declared this liturgical year (as of December 8) to be a jubilee “Year of Mercy.” Many times people don’t feel as though they are worthy of God’s mercy, and so they live with the pain, regret, fear and loneliness that accompanies the aftermath of sin and poor choices. As this holy year begins, we want to have an ongoing conversation about what “mercy” means—God’s mercy toward us as well as our mercy toward one another. To begin this conversation, I have here reprinted an article from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s website (www.usccb.org) by Mary McClusky. In the coming months, we will learn more about this topic, and how we can more fully give and receive mercy in our lives. Have a blessed Advent. — Ivana “I felt I’d committed the unforgiveable sin.” So many women with abortion in their past have said things like this. They often feel deep shame, regret, loss, or despair. They may have a hard time accepting that God loves them, and so stay away from the spir-itual and psychological help offered by the Church and the healing balm of the sacraments. Pope Francis has a message for these suffering mothers—and all others who have been involved in an abor-tion: Great joy can be found in Christ’s unfailing mercy and love for us sinners. He recently called for the cele-bration of a Jubilee Year of Mercy from December 8, 2015 to November 20, 2016. In the announcement, he said, “I am convinced that the whole Church will find in this jubilee the joy needed to rediscover and make fruitful the mercy of God, with which all of us are called to give consolation to every man and woman of our time.” In his Easter Vigil homily (of 2015), Pope Francis reflected on the challenge of finding joy despite the experi-ence of sin. He described how the women who entered Jesus’s tomb that Easter morning entered into the mystery of Christ’s suffering, death, and Resurrection. They came face-to-face with the reality of death and of their own existence as sinners in need of God’s forgiveness. At the same time, they encountered His love, which is greater than the greatest of sins. The power of the Resurrection gives us the courage to face our sins, confess our mistakes, and then humbly receive God’s forgiveness and accept the joy that comes with new life in Christ. Accepting God’s mercy brought happiness to “Sophia”* in her healing journey from abortion. “As the mystery of God’s way unfolded, I recovered peace. That sense of peace has brought with it for me real joy and new hope for the future,” she said. Pope Francis’s focus on mercy challenges us to not only accept Christ’s mercy ourselves like “Sophia” did, but also to be merciful to others. A beautiful way to answer his call is to be aware of and address the particu-lar needs of those who suffer from abortion. Offer your attentive listening and non-judgmental attitude to someone you know who is suffering after abortion. Pray that you will see Christ in the mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, and others who have been affected by abortion, and tell them about God's mercy with love and tenderness. Offer them hope for relief of their pain and suffering, and provide information on nearby help. Project Rachel, the diocesan-based post-abortion healing ministry of the Catholic Church in the United States, offers confidential, non-judgmental help; see the “Find Help” map at www.hopeafterabortion.com. These websites include prayers, abortion stories, research, and other helpful information. Throughout this upcoming Jubilee Year of Mercy, may each of us find the hope and consolation we need in the mystery of God’s mercy. May we be empowered by Him to be merciful ourselves and share the hope and help that are available so those who suffer abortion’s aftermath might also find joy in the great gift of mercy. *Name has been changed to protect confidentiality.

Especialmente para nuestra Comunidad Hispana

Siempre Regocijen en el Señor

Hoy, el tercer domingo de Adviento, es el Domingo Gaudete, el domingo de alegría o rego-cijo. Nuestro canto de entrada nos invita a estar siempre alegres. De hecho, esto no es una in-vitación, sino, más bien, una orden a ser alegres. Demostramos nuestra alegría en la liturgia de hoy al alumbrar la vela color rosa de la corona de Adviento. El niño Jesús trae alegría al mundo, y somos obligados a demostrar esa alegría en todo lo que hacemos y decimos. El Ad-viento, la época de esperanza, nos prepara para la alegría de Navidad, y ya que sabemos que

nuestra alegría está en Cristo, esperamos su venida con esperanza. Un corazón alegre no depende de rique-zas materiales o estatus; más bien, depende del conocimiento que nuestro salvador, Jesucristo, “ha levanta-do su sentencia contra nosotros y ha expulsado a todos nuestros enemigos” (Sofonías 3:15). Se trata de dar parte de nosotros para los demás, para nuestras familias, nuestra iglesia y nuestra comunidad. En el evangelio de hoy (Lucas 3:10-18), la gente llegó con Juan el Bautista y le preguntaron qué era lo que debían hacer para poder compartir en el reino de Dios. La pregunta no se trataba de los demás, sino de ellos mismos. Ellos querían saber que era su propósito en la vida y su puesto en el reino. Mientras nos prepara-mos para la Navidad, nosotros también nos debemos preguntar la misma pregunta: ¿Qué debo hacer yo, qué debemos hacer nosotros, mientras esperamos la venida del reino? La respuesta que Juan el Bautista le dio a la gente en ese tiempo es la misma que nos da hoy. Cada uno de nosotros debemos ver en donde pode-mos corregir los errores que hemos hecho y llevar la alegría a los corazones de las personas. Debemos evitar engañar y aprovecharnos de los demás. Debemos ser caritativos, dando a los pobres de lo que nosotros tene-mos. Somos llamados a ser honestos, a no usar nuestros puestos de poder para enriquecernos. Debemos evi-tar hostigar e intimidar a las personas como los soldados lo hacen. Ya que comenzamos el Año de Misericordia, el Papa Francisco nos invita a reflexionar en maneras de las cuales podemos demostrar la misericordia de Dios a los demás. Debemos ejercer tanto las Obras Corporales como las Obras Espirituales de Misericordia. Tal vez podemos comenzar solo con recordarnos qué son estas obras y como las podemos ejercer.

Las Obras Corporales de Misericordia son: 1. Dar de comer a los que tienen hambre

2. Dar de beber a los que tienen sed 3. Vestir a los desnudos

4. Dar albergue a los que no tienen hogar 5. Visitar a los enfermos

6. Visitar a los prisioneros 7. Enterrar a los muertos

Las Obras Espirituales de Misericordia son:

1. Instruir a los ignorantes 2. Dar consejo a los que tienen dudas

3. Reprender a los pecadores 4. Aguantar las penas pacientemente

5. Perdonar las ofensas voluntariamente 6. Dar consuelo a los afligidos

7. Orar por los vivos y los muertos El mundo tiene que cambiar por el bien de todos, y nosotros somos los indicados a realizar esto. Pongamos una sonrisa en la cara de alguien que está preocupado. Juan el Bautista retó a los que fueron hacia él a ser gente llenas de amor y compasión. Él también nos reta a nosotros. Él nos reta a adoptar una nueva actitud en la vida, una que piense en el bien de los demás. Esto es lo que llevará a los demás al reino, y nuestra ale-gría desbordará al haber ayudado a alguien en el camino. ¡Tengan un Domingo Gaudete muy bendecido!

—Padre Felix P.12

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia

El Papa Francisco eligió inaugurar el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia el pasado martes

porque el 8 de diciembre marca el quincua-gésimo aniversario de la clausura del Con-cilio Vaticano II. El Papa Francisco nos re-

cuerda que el Concilio inauguró una fase en la historia de la Iglesia. El Espíritu llamó a la Iglesia a derrumbar muros que la habían hecho una fortaleza por mucho

tiempo, y a proclamar el Evangelio en un modo nuevo y más accesible. El Papa Francisco cita a san Juan XXIII declarando la “preferencia por la medicina de la mise-ricordia” de la Iglesia, y al beato Pablo VI proponiendo “al Buen Samaritano como nuestro modelo de discipu-lado” (Misericordiae Vultus, 4). El Papa Francisco añade: “la misericordia de Dios es el corazón palpitante del Evangelio” y que esa misericordia debe “alcanzar la

mente y el corazón” de cada discípulo (MV, 12). En el Evangelio de hoy, tres veces se pregunta “¿Qué tene-mos que hacer?” El Papa Francisco diría: Imita a Jesús, quien vino no empuñando el juicio de fuego que Juan el Bautista anunciaba, sino en su lugar sanando, siendo

compasivo, perdonando —¡misericordia!
