J
ubilee Year of Mercy
January 17, 2016 • Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mary, whom Catholic tradition names “Mother
of Mercy,” at Cana intercedes with her Son
to show mercy toward the bridal couple:
“Son, they have no wine.” But he does
more! Jesus’ transformation of water
into wine is a “sign” (John’s term for
“miracle”) that God’s marriage with the
whole human race has begun in Jesus’
person and ministry, a marriage that
will be consummated on the cross: “It is
finished”—we are saved! But before Jesus acts,
Mary instructs the servers to prepare the way
for Jesus’ miracle of mercy: “Do whatever he tells you.”
During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Mother Church, like
Mother Mary, instructs us to share the Spirit’s manifold
gifts—some of which Paul lists in today’s second
reading—in generous service to the human family. Thus
we prepare the way for Jesus’ new miracles of mercy,
transforming life’s sometimes stagnant water into the
refreshing wine of God’s mercy.

The Year of Mercy
San Luis Obispo Style
inspired by Matthew 25:35-49
When I was hungry, you fed me at
PRADO DAY CENTER
When I was a stranger and thirsty,
you took me to STARBUCKS
for a coffee
When I needed clothes, you took me to
MISSION THRIFT
or ASSISTANCE LEAGUE
When I was sick, you visited me,
brought me COMMUNION
and organized meals
When I was in prison, you volunteered
with the GET-ON-THE-BUS program
or helped Sister Theresa and Father Mike
with RESTORATIVE PARTNERS
When I was suffering or needing help,
you comforted me
with loving ACTS OF MERCY
….. because whatever you do
for the least of my people,
you do for me, JESUS!

Care for Creation
What does nature teach us about the Creator? Has your
own experience of the created world helped you to pray or
communicate with God? Perhaps consider having a nature
experience – visit a park, go for a hike, go kayaking, sit in your
yard and watch the birds and insects, observe a rain storm.

2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
While the Wedding in Cana is a familiar
story, it only appears in John’s Gospel.
Scholars call it the first of Jesus’ signs.
Mary, Jesus’ mother, observed that the
wine was running low at a wedding feast
she and Jesus were attending. She didn’t
specifically ask Jesus to do something
about the situation, but he understood the
implication. He instructed the servants to
fill six stone jars with water and then take
some to the waiter in charge. The waiter
was surprised that the bridegroom had
saved the best wine for last. The servants
were surprised because they knew the
jars were filled with water and they had
witnessed something remarkable.
Reflection question:
Adult: When have you stepped in, as Mary did
at Cana, to try and make a difficult situation
easier for someone?
Child: What can you do this week to help
make someone’s job a little easier?
Reflection and questions from RCL Benziger.

- En primer lugar, porque Jesús dio a los Apóstoles el
poder de perdonar los pecados. Esto es un dato y es la
razón definitiva: la más importante. Recién resucitado,
es lo primero que hace: “Reciban el Espíritu Santo.
A los que les perdonen los pecados, les quedarán
perdonados, a los que no se los perdonen, les quedarán
sin perdonar “ (Jn 20, 22-23). Los únicos que han
recibido este poder son los Apóstoles y sus sucesores.
Les dio este poder precisamente para que nos perdonen
los pecados a ti y a mí. Por tanto, cuando quieres que
Dios te borre los pecados, sabes a quien acudir, sabes
quienes han recibido de Dios ese poder.
Es interesante notar que Jesús vinculó la confesión con
la resurrección, (la cual es su victoria sobre la muerte
y el pecado), con el Espíritu Santo (necesario para
actuar con poder) y con los apóstoles (los primeros
sacerdotes): el Espíritu Santo actúa a través de los
Apóstoles para realizar en las almas la victoria de
Cristo sobre el pecado y sobre la muerte.
- Porque la Sagrada Escritura lo manda explícitamente:
“Confiesen mutuamente sus pecados” (Santiago 5,
16). Las condiciones del perdón las pone Dios que es
el ofendido, no nosotros que somos los ofensores. Es
Dios quién perdona y tiene poder para establecer los
medios para otorgar ese perdón. De manera que no
soy yo quien decide cómo conseguir el perdón, sino
es Dios el que decidió (hace dos mil años) a quién
tengo que acudir y qué tengo que hacer para que me
perdone. Entonces nos confesamos con un sacerdote
por obediencia a Cristo.
- Porque en la confesión te encuentras con Cristo.
Esto debido a que es uno de los siete Sacramentos
instituidos por El mismo para darnos la gracia. Te confiesas
con Jesús; el sacerdote no es más que su representante.
- Porque en la confesión te reconcilias con la Iglesia.
Resulta que el pecado no sólo ofende a Dios, sino
también a la comunidad: tiene una dimensión vertical
(ofensa a Dios) y otra horizontal (ofensa a los hermanos).
La reconciliación para ser completa debe alcanzar
esas dos dimensiones. Precisamente el sacerdote está
ahí también en representación de la Iglesia, con quien
también te reconcilias por su intermedio. El aspecto
comunitario del perdón exige la presencia del sacerdote,
sin él la reconciliación no sería «completa».
- El perdón es algo que «se recibe». Yo no soy el artífice
del perdón de mis pecados: es Dios quien los perdona.
Como todo sacramento hay que recibirlo del ministro
que lo administra válidamente. A nadie se le ocurriría
decir que se bautiza sólo ante Dios… sino que se acude
a la iglesia a recibir el Bautismo. Cuando se trata de
sacramentos, hay que recibirlos de quien corresponde:
de quien los puede administrar válidamente.

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
17 de enero de 2016 • Segundo Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
Por la boda de Cana, la tradición
católica llama a María “Madre de la
Misericordia”, pues ella intercede ante
su Hijo para mostrar misericordia a
los novios: “Hijo, no les queda vino”.
¡Jesús hace algo más! Para Jesús esa
transformación que hace del agua en
vino es un “signo” (la palabra que usa
Juan es “milagro”) que es el matrimonio
de Dios con toda la humanidad que
empezó en la persona de Jesús y su
ministerio y que será consumado en la Cruz:
“todo está cumplido”, ¡somos salvados! Pero antes que
Jesús haga algo, María dijo a los que estaban sirviendo
preparar el camino para el milagro de la misericordia
de Jesús: “Hagan lo que él les diga”. Durante este Año
Jubilar de la Misericordia, la “Madre Iglesia”, como
la Madre María, nos dice que compartamos los dones
del Espíritu, algunos de los cuales Pablo enlista en
la segunda lectura de hoy, en un servicio generoso
a la familia y así preparar el camino para los nuevos
milagros de misericordia de Jesús, transformando
la vida; algunas veces el agua estancada en un vino
refrescante de la misericordia de Dios.
