All are invited to my Installation. - Fr. Thomas
In his 2016 Lenten message, Pope Francis
called the faithful to place special emphasis on
the spiritual and corporal works of mercy this
Lent, taking into account the current Jubilee
Year of Mercy.
“God’s mercy transforms human hearts; it
enables us, through the experience of a faithful
love, to become merciful in turn,” the Pope
wrote in the short document, released Tuesday
by the Vatican.
The spiritual and corporal works of mercy,
the pontiff said, “remind us that faith finds
expression in concrete everyday actions meant
to help our neighbors in body and spirit: by
feeding, visiting, comforting and instructing
them.” “On such things will we be judged,”
he said.
Pope Francis recounted the parable of the
poor man Lazarus who would beg at the door
of the rich man. Lazarus represents Christ,
the Pope said, and therefore “the possibility of
conversion which God offers us and which we
may well fail to see.” This blindness “is often
accompanied by the proud illusion of our own
omnipotence,” he observed.
The Pope went on to explain how the
illusion can link back to the “idolatry of money,”
leading to a lack of concern for the poor “on
the part of wealthier individuals and societies.”
“They close their doors, refusing even to see
the poor,” he said.
“For all of us, then, the season of Lent in
this Jubilee Year is a favorable time to
overcome our existential alienation by listening
to God’s word and by practicing the works of
mercy.” Pope Francis stressed that “the
corporal and spiritual works of mercy must
never be separated.” “By touching the flesh
of the crucified Jesus in the suffering, sinners
can receive the gift of realizing that they too
are poor and in need,” he said.
“This love alone is the answer to that
yearning for infinite happiness and love that
we think we can satisfy with the idols of
knowledge, power and riches.”
This year's Lent will begin Feb 10 with Ash
Wednesday, when the Church will send out
“Missionaries of Mercy” – priests with the
faculties to pardon sins in cases otherwise
reserved for the Holy See – as part of the
Jubilee Year.
“Let us not waste this season of Lent, so
favorable a time for conversion!” (CNA/EWTN News).

“Nadie es profeta en su tierra”
Jesús está en la sinagoga de su pueblo, donde lo
dejamos la semana pasada. Es sábado. Y ha
hecho la lectura, la del profeta Isaías, que habla
del Mesías que ha venido a anunciar la Buena
Noticia a los pobres. Y Jesús hace la homilía más
corta que se conoce: “Hoy se cumple esta escritura que acabáis de oír”.
La primera reacción de la gente que allí está es
de aprobación y admiración. “Todos le expresaban su aprobación y se admiraban de las palabras de gracia que salían de sus labios”. Pero la
admiración dura poco. En seguida surgen las dudas. Primero sobre su procedencia: “¿No es este
el hijo de José?”. Y Jesús dirá que “nadie es profeta en su tierra”. Pero las dificultades mayores
vienen cuando Jesús anuncia la universalidad del
mensaje de Dios. La Buena Noticia de Dios es
para todos, para los israelitas, y también para los
paganos, para los que no son religiosos, para los
buenos y para los malos, pero con una llamada
común a cambiar de vida, a la conversión. Ni la
viuda de Sarepta, ni Naamán el sirio eran personas religiosas, sin embargo reciben la ayuda de
Dios a través del profeta, y se produce en ellos
una conversión, un cambio de vida y de actitudes, que es lo que, en el fondo, nos pide Dios.
Los paisanos de Jesús se revelan ante esto, porque ellos son los “elegidos”, y no otros, y mucho
menos unos paganos que, además, viven marginados de la sociedad: una por ser viuda y, por lo
tanto, pobre; y el otro por su enfermedad de la
lepra. Pero Jesús ha dicho que es a gente como
ellos a quien está destinada la Buena Noticia de
Dios y su salvación.
