We are Christian communities in the Roman
Catholic Tradition, and we commit ourselves to
become more Christ-like through the service to
God and neighbor.
Think of the church, always and at all times, as sacred space
and a sacred place. The church is, first and foremost, a place
of worship. It is not an auditorium, convention center, or
meeting hall. We are not filling in time before the
entertainment starts. The church is the primary place we
come to spend time with and be intimate with God. Listen to
the choir and let it move you into prayer.
ETIQUETA DE MISAS Piense en la iglesia, siempre y en
todo momento, ya que el espacio sagrado y un lugar sagrado.
La Iglesia es, ante todo, un lugar de culto. No se trata de un
salón de actos, centro de convenciones, o sala de reuniones.
No estamos llenando en el tiempo antes de que comience el
espectáculo. La iglesia es el lugar principal llegamos a pasar
el tiempo con y tener intimidad con Dios. Escucha el coro y
deja que te mueve a la oración.

Statement
Declaración

Nosotros somos las comunidades Cristianas

comprometemos a hacer modelos de Cristo
al servicio de Dios y de projimo.
POPE FRANCIS ON MERCY AND
THE CHURCH
“The Church is commissioned to announce the
mercy of God, the beating heart of the Gospel,
which in its own way must penetrate the heart
and mind of every person. The Spouse of
Christ must pattern her behavior after the Son
of God who went out to everyone without
exception.
In the present day, as the Church is charged
with the task of the new evangelization, the
theme of mercy needs to be proposed again and
again with new enthusiasm and renewed
pastoral action. It is absolutely essential for the
Church and for the credibility of her message
that she herself live and testify to mercy. Her
language and her gestures must transmit mercy,
so as to touch the hearts of all people and
inspire them once more to find the road that
leads to the Father.
The Church’s first truth is the love of Christ.
The Church makes herself a servant of this love
and mediates it to all people: a love that
forgives and expresses itself in the gift of
one’s self.
Consequently, wherever the Church is present,
the mercy of the Father must be evident. In our
parishes, communities, associations and
movements, in a word, wherever there are
Christians, everyone should find an oasis of
mercy.”

Misericordiae Vultus
WISE WORDS: "Mercy is the flower of
love. God is love, and mercy is His deed. In
love it is conceived; in mercy it is revealed.
Everything I look at speaks to me of God’s
mercy.” --Saint Faustina in her Diary

IL PAPA FRANCISCO: LA IGLESIA
Y LA MISRICORDIA
“La Iglesia tiene la misión de anunciar la
misericordia de Dios, corazón palpitante del
Evangelio, que por su medio debe alcanzar la
mente y el corazón de toda persona. La Esposa
de Cristo hace suyo el comportamiento del
Hijo de Dios que sale a encontrar a todos, sin
excluir ninguno. En nuestro tiempo, en el que
la Iglesia está comprometida en la nueva
evangelización, el tema de la misericordia
exige ser propuesto una vez más con nuevo
entusiasmo y con una renovada acción pastoral.
Es determinante para la Iglesia y para la
credibilidad de su anuncio que ella viva y
testimonie en primera persona la misericordia.
Su lenguaje y sus gestos deben transmitir
misericordia para penetrar en el corazón de las
personas y motivarlas a reencontrar el camino
de vuelta al Padre.
La primera verdad de la Iglesia es el amor de
Cristo. De este amor, que llega hasta el perdón
y al don de sí, la Iglesia se hace sierva y
mediadora ante los hombres. Por tanto, donde
la Iglesia esté presente, allí debe ser evidente la
misericordia del Padre. En nuestras parroquias,
en las comunidades, en las asociaciones y
movimientos, en fin, dondequiera que haya
cristianos, cualquiera debería poder encontrar
un oasis de misericordia.”
--Roma, junto a San Pedro, el 11 de abril,
Vigilia del Segundo Domingo de Pascua o de
la Divina Misericordia, del Año del Señor 2015
