Jubilee Year of Mercy May 1, 2016 Sixth Sunday of Easter In formal documents, presentations, and homilies outlining the purpose of this Jubilee Y ear of Mercy, Pope Francis explains that compassion and understanding for those in difficult situations is not only our individual responsibility, but something the whole Church officially needs to manifest. Today’s Acts of the Apostles reading presents a moving example of the early church doing precisely that. Prayerful openness to the Holy Spirit assures the assembly that they have not acted alone in discerning the correct resolution: “It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us.” And they have chosen the compassionate response: “not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities” (Acts 15:28). Yet how daringly creative—the Jewish majority sets aside lifelong rituals that establish spiritual identity and express covenant fidelity. How radically trustful—the church affirms universally valid principles while respecting uniquely local and personal situations. Exactly the grace Pope Francis prays this Jubilee Year will renew in today’s Church!

Sixth Sunday of Easter

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia  1o de mayo de 2016  Sexto Domingo de Pascua   

En documentos oficiales, presentaciones y homilías que delinean el propósito del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, el Papa Francisco explica que la compasión y la comprensión por aquellas personas en situaciones difíciles no es solamente nuestra responsabilidad personal, sino algo que toda la Iglesia oficialmente necesita manifestarse. Hoy el texto de los Hechos de los Apóstoles presenta un ejemplo conmovedor de la Iglesia de los primeros siglos haciendo precisamente eso. El comienzo de una oración al Espíritu Santo asegura a la asamblea que ellos no actuaron solos discerniendo la decisión correcta: “Porque pareció bien al Espíritu Santo y a nosotros”. Y ellos ya eligieron una respuesta compasiva: “no imponerles mayor carga que estas cosas esenciales” (Hechos 15:28). Sin embargo, que creativamente, la mayoría judía puso a un lado los rituales establecidos de toda la vida que establecían identidad y expresaban fidelidad a la alianza. Que confianza tan fundamental, la comunidad afirma principios validos universalmente y al mismo tiempo respeta situaciones personales y particulares. ¡Exactamente la gracia por la que el Papa Francisco ora que este Año Jubilar renueve a la Iglesia de hoy!
