Hermanas en Cristo, El Papa Francisco ha llamado a nuestra Iglesia Universal a celebrar un año santo invitándonos a reflexionar, a orar y a poner en prác ca aquello que nos is ngue como comunidad de bau zados y, a la vez, expresa el ideal al que aspiramos: a ser “Misericordiosos como el Padre”. Con este

tema, el Santo Padre nos invita a un Año Jubilar tanto de conversión interna como de evangelización. Hemos de analizar la manera en que vivimos este ideal de la Misericordia en nuestras comunidades de fe así como la forma en que lo llevamos a la sociedad para inspiración de todo el pueblo de Dios. Es un año para evocar un cambio en los corazones tanto de individuos como de comunidades así como una oportunidad para ofrecer una alterna va de vida a una sociedad en necesidad de reconciliación, unidad y paz. El Año de la Misericordia comienza con la apertura de la Puerta Santa en la Basílica de San Pedro el 8 de diciembre, la Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción, y cierra el 20 de noviembre de 2016, la Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo Rey del Universo. Nuestra Diócesis, en comunión con la toda la Iglesia, quiere vivir con gran intensidad este llamado del Papa Francisco, así que escribo esta Carta Pastoral para invitar a todos los hombres y mujeres de buna voluntad a que se preparen para un año de gracia que trae paz, reconciliación, ayuda mutua, y sanación a quienes viven en esta región. Iden ficaré ahora algunas áreas de enfoque para el Año Jubilar que nos da el Papa Francisco en la Bula de Convocación: Misericordiae Vultus (11 de abril de 2015) y algunas inicia vas locales que se han planeado. Ofreceré también preguntas para su reflexión al leer esta carta.

“Calling on the Roman Catholic faithful to gaze even more a en vely on mercy so that we may become a more effec ve sign of the Father’s ac on(MV,3), Pope Francis declared an Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy to begin on December 8, 2015, the 50th

Anniversary of the Second Va can Council.” We would like to share the 5 page le er from the Bishop concerning the Year of Mercy. Due to the size of the le er, we will share it in a series of excerpts from the le er each week.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Pope Francis has called our Universal Church to celebrate a holy year invi ng us to reflect, pray and put in ac on that which dis nguishes us as a community of bap zed and, at the same me, expresses the ideal to which we aspire: to be “Merciful like the Father.” With this theme the Holy Father invites us to a Jubilee Year of both internal conversion and evangeliza on. We are to look at how we live this ideal of Mercy in our communi es of faith but also how we take it out into society for the li ing up of all God’s people. It is a year to evoke change in the hearts of individuals and communi es but it is also an opportunity to offer an alterna ve of life to a society in need of reconcilia on, unity and peace. The Year of Mercy begins with opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica on December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Concep on, and closes on November 20, 2016, the Solemnity of Christ the King. Our Diocese, in communion with the whole Church, wants to live with much intensity this calling of Pope Francis and so I write this Pastoral le er to invite all men and women of good will to prepare for a year of grace that brings peace, reconcilia on, mutual help, and healing to all who live in this region.

In Memoriam of:

Marcy Monguia, Juan Ulloa,

Ernesto Gutierrez Pray for your servants who

served you faithfully throughout their lives. We ask this through Christ our

Lord. Amen
