Do You Know?
An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins…(CCC1471) and is granted under certain conditions. A person may earn an indulgence for himself or herself or a de-ceased person by being in the state of grace at the time they perform a specific work, feel completely detached from sin, sacramentally confess their sins, receive the Eucharist and pray for the inten-tions of the Pope. You may gain an indulgence once each day.
GOD'S PRESENCE
Realize above all that you are in God's presence . . . empty yourself completely and sit waiting, content with the grace of God, like a chick who tastes nothing
and eats nothing but what its mother gives it. --St. Romuald

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS The Second Vatican Council has called us to envi-sion the Church as the people of God. As a com-munity of believers we are responsible for our brothers and sisters, their salvation, their journey of faith, their physical well-being. Many of the documents of Vatican II and volumes of work since the mid-1960s give us advice, guidelines, and encouragement to take care of one another: the poor, the elderly, the unborn, the broken, the infirm.
Because Vatican II is part of our recent history--indeed many of us were already born--this may strike us as a new and revolutionary idea. But to-day's readings show us the agelessness of the issue of social justice. Eight hundred years before Christ was born, Amos warned the wealthy not to cheat the poor. In Paul's first letter to Timothy, he en-courages all prayers to be for all people; and final-ly, the Gospel urges the wise use of money.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Customs surrounding the naming of babies are interest-ing, and over time the Church has tried to offer some motherly advice to direct parents in this necessary chore. The ritual book used for baptism from the six-teenth to the mid-twentieth centuries advised priests to guard against giving ridiculous or pagan names to ba-bies consigned to their ministry. In 1666 the diocesan ritual of Bourges in France was even more exacting, telling the priests to see to it that boys were named after male saints, girls after female saints, and no one got named after a festival. Yet, records from that very dio-cese in later years shows a few babies named
"Toussaint" (after All Saints Day) along with other cre-ative expressions. In Spain, no one has ever hesitated to name babies after festivals, especially girls after Our Lady, and so there are names like Concepción, Asun-ción, and of course Dolores (after Our Lady of Sor-rows). In Italy and Spain is it likely that a child will receive the name of the saint of the day of its birth. Today's rites of initiation for adults and infants urge the giving of a Christian name, and in the case of an adult whose given name expresses a pagan or unseemly idea (Baal and Whiskey come to mind), there is a formal rite during the catechumenate for the giving of a Christian name. In such a case, it would make sense for the change to be registered with civil authorities as well. For all Christians, the idea of having a heavenly patron to pray to on life's journey is reason enough to pay at-tention to this treasure in our tradition.
- -Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El santo Peruano Fray Juan Macías fue dominico. Este santo es reconocido como el amparo de los pobres, patrón de los emigrantes y ladrón del purgatorio. El concepto del purgatorio es un poco difícil de entender. La Iglesia adoptó la creencia en la última purificación de los elegidos (nombrado el Purgatorio) en los siglos XV y XVI en los concilios de Florencia y Trento. Ella se basa en las Escrituras que se refieren en la purifi-cación en el fuego (1 Corintios 3:15; 1 Pedro 1:7) y en la práctica de la oración por los difuntos como aparece en 2 Macabeos 12:46 y Job 1:5. San Juan Crisóstomo dijo: "Si los hijos de Job fueron purificados por el sacri-ficio de su padre, ¿porqué vamos a dudar que nuestras oraciones por los difuntos puedan hacerle llegar alguna consolación a los que han muerto? Ofrezcamos pues, nuestras oraciones por los difuntos. Los que están en purgación necesitan nuestro apoyo en la oración. Pidamos por ellos".

Prayer of Pope Francis for the Jubilee Year of Mercy
Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!”
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let every-one who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and for-given by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed en-thusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Moth-er of MMoth-ercy, you who live and reign with the FathMoth-er and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
Oracion del Papa Francisco para el Jubileo del Año de la Misericordia
Señor Jesucristo, tú nos has enseñado a ser miseri-cordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él. Muéstranos tu rostro y ob-tendremos la salvación. Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero; a la adúltera y a la Magdalena del buscar la felicidad solamente en una crea-tura; hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como propia la palabra que dijiste a la samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don de Dios!
Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso. Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran revestidos de debilidad para que sientan sincera compasión por los que se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error: haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Di-os.
Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusi-asmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres proclamar la liber-tad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a los cie-gos. Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia,
a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
