Our Pastor’s Letter

Year of Mercy

Pope Francis declared a Jubilee Year of Mercy which began on December 8, 2015, in which we are also celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council. The year will end on November 20, 2016 (Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe). In the Jewish tradition the Jubilee year was every fifty years and was a time of forgiveness and reminder of God’s providence. This Jubilee year is extraordinary in that it is outside the normal cycle.

God has revealed Himself as mercy already in the Old Testament. God acted in the history of the People

of Israel, continually forgiving them and not treating them as their sins deserved. In an even clearer way, the actions and words of Jesus are full of mercy; as Pope Francis writes, “Jesus Christ is the face of the Father’s mercy.” (Misericordiae Vultus #1)

This year of Mercy is a time for the Church to recognize the immense mercy that God has for us and then

proclaim this mercy by our actions. We can be merciful with others because first God has been merciful with us. Pope Francis has been especially inviting us to have mercy with those who are on the fringes.

The Holy Father has asked us to reflect this year on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. The

corporal works of mercy are to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the prisoners, bury the dead, and give alms to the poor. The spiritual works of mercy are to counsel the doubtful, instruct the ignorant, admonish the sinner, comfort the sorrowful, forgive injuries, bear wrongs patiently, and pray for the living and the dead.

One of the components of the Jubilee Year of Mercy is that Catholics are invited to make a pilgrimage to

one of the Holy Doors that are open during this Jubilee year throughout the world: “the Holy Door will become a Door of Mercy through which anyone who enters will experience the love of God who consoles, pardons, and instills hope.” (Misericordiae Vultus #3) Archbishop Samuel Aquila has designated five Holy Doors throughout northern Colorado. They are located at: the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, St. Stephen Protomartyr in Glenwood Springs, Our lady of Guadalupe in Denver, St. Anthony’s in Sterling, and the Mother Cabrini Shrine in Golden.

Pope Francis has announced an opportunity for Catholics to obtain a plenary indulgence during the Year of Mercy by passing through a designated Holy Door during the Year of Mercy, or performing one of the corporal or spiritual works of mercy; and fulfilling the usual conditions of having the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, receiving sacramental Confession and the Holy Eucharist and praying for the intentions of the Holy Father. A plenary indulgence removes the temporal punishment due for sins. This punishment may come either in this life, in the form of various sufferings, or in the next life, in purgatory. Indulgences can be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased.

Mary, Mother of Mercy, pray for us in this year of Mercy. Fr. Mark

Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time — How is My Faith?

Habakkuk 1:2–3; 2:2–4. In the times of strife in life, what are we to do? Rashly despair? No, wait for the Lord; he never disappoints.

Psalm 95: 1–2, 6–7, 8–9. Joy, we have joy because we are God’s people. He cares for us like a shepherd, who speaks to us in our darkness to comfort us, give us our safe path, and to cheer us by his presence. Listen for his voice and follow what he says.

Paul’s second letter to Timothy 1:6–8, 13–14. Our faith, and our call is a personal gift. Paul is urging us to stir our life of faith to its fullness. It is a courageous life, one of “power and love and self-control.” You have strength from God, norms to follow in the teachings. You have “the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus,” and you have the Holy Spirit within you. Rouse your faith into a fire.

The Gospel of Luke 17:5–10. Life with faith is different from life without it. Wonders are possible in the Lord. How is your life different because of your faith? Peace and even joy are possible in the face of illness, even of death. Cures have been recorded among people of faith. “Hopeless,” sinners have become great saints. Do you have any examples of the

impossible made possible in the Lord? We are “unprofitable servants,” because all is gift and we are grateful.

Great adventures for SHJ Middle School Students!

SHJ 7th graders went to the Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI) this week as part of their science curriculum on invertebrates. They explored marine life in the Pacific and were in a "hands on" touch pool with sharks and rays.

Next week our 6th grade students take their annual field trip to Pingree Park. Managed by Colorado State University, this outdoor educational facility north of Fort Collins provides our students with hands-on learning in fire ecology, ecosystems, orienteering and hiking.

This week too, our 8th grade students will take a field trip to Holy Family High School to learn what life will be like in Catholic high school.

We are so proud of our middle school learners!

If you know of a family with students in preschool through 8th grade, please let them know about the award-winning Catholic education available here in the heart of Boulder at SHJS. Or let Admission Director, Jennifer Wilcomb know about the family and she will reach out to them. Call her at 303 447-2362 X 107

God. The classes are free, just bring your Bible - we

25 de Septiembre del 2016

Papa Francisco declaró el Jubileo de la Misericordia, que se inició el 8 de diciembre de 2015, el cual

también celebra el quincuagésimo aniversario de la clausura del Concilio Vaticano II. El año terminará el 20 de

noviembre, 2016 (Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo). En la tradición judía el año jubilar

era cada cincuenta años y era un tiempo de perdón y un recordatorio de la providencia de Dios. Este año jubilar

es extraordinario en que fuera del ciclo normal.

Dios se ha revelado como misericordia ya en el Antiguo Testamento. Dios actuó en la historia del pueblo

de Israel, que los perdona continuamente sin tratarlos como merecían por sus pecados . De una manera aún más

clara, las acciones y las palabras de Jesús están llenos de piedad; como escribe Francisco, "Jesucristo es el rostro

de la misericordia del Padre." (Misericordiae Vultus # 1)

Este año de la Misericordia es un tiempo para que la Iglesia reconozca la inmensa misericordia que Dios

tiene por nosotros y luego proclamar esta misericordia por nuestras acciones. Podemos ser misericordiosos con

los demás porque primero Dios ha sido misericordioso con nosotros. Francisco nos invita especialmente a tener

piedad con los marginados.

El Santo Padre nos ha pedido reflexionar este año en las obras corporales y espirituales de misericordia.

Las obras de misericordia corporales son alimentar al hambriento, dar de beber al sediento, refugio a los que no

tienen hogar, visitar a los enfermos, visitar a los presos, enterrar a los muertos, y de dar limosna a los pobres. Las

obras de misericordia espirituales son aconsejar al que duda, instruir a los ignorantes, amonestar al pecador,

consolar a los afligidos, perdonar las injurias, soportar las ofensas pacientemente, y rezar por los vivos y los

muertos.

Uno de los componentes del Jubileo de la Misericordia es invitar a los católicos a hacer una peregrinación

a una de las puertas santas que están abiertos durante este año jubilar en todo el mundo: "la Puerta Santa se

convertirá en una puerta de la misericordia a través del cual cualquier persona que entra experimenta el amor de

Dios, que consuela, perdona, e infunde esperanza. "(Misericordiae Vultus # 3) El Arzobispo Samuel Aquila ha

designado cinco puertas Santas en todo el norte de Colorado. Ellas se encuentran en: la Catedral de la Inmaculada

Concepción, San Esteban protomártir en Glenwood Springs, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, en Denver, San

Antonio en Sterling, y el Santuario de Madre Cabrini en Golden.

El Papa Francisco ha anunciado una oportunidad para que los católicos puedan tener una indulgencia

plenaria durante el Año de la Misericordia a través de una Puerta Santa designado durante el Año de la

Misericordia, o la realización de una de las obras corporales y espirituales de misericordia; y el cumplimiento de

las condiciones habituales de tener la disposición interior de un desapego total del pecado, recibiendo la

confesión sacramental y la Santa Eucaristía y la oración por las intenciones del Santo Padre. Una indulgencia

plenaria elimina la pena temporal debida por los pecados. Este castigo puede venir ya sea en esta vida, en forma

de diversos padecimientos, o en la otra vida, en el purgatorio. Las indulgencias se pueden aplicar ya sea para uno

mismo o para las almas de los difuntos.

María, Madre de la Misericordia, ruega por nosotros en este año de la Misericordia
