2 Page 2 Our Lady of Peace July 3rd, 2016 Dear Parishioners, In Pope Francis Bull of Indiction Misericordiae Vultus, we read: Let us place the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the center once more in such a way that it will enable people to touch the grandeur of God s mercy with their own hands. (17) During this month of July, I d like to dedicate this space to share with you some catechesis of Saint John Paul II explaining different aspects of God s forgiveness. It is my prayerful desire that all of us [who] know well the experience of sin (MV, 22) may approach with renewed fervor and contrition to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where God forgives our sins. In a General Audience given at Rome on September 8, 1999, Saint John Paul II taught the faithful precisely on the meaning of the forgiveness of sins offered to us by Christ through the sacramental mediation of the Church. He said: First of all, we want to consider the biblical message about God s forgiveness: a message that is amply developed in the Old Testament and reaches its fullness in the New. The Church has inserted this article of her faith into the Creed itself, where in fact she professes the forgiveness of sins: Credo in remissionem peccatorum. The Old Testament, continues the Holy Pope speaks to us in various ways about the forgiveness of sins. In this regard we find a variety of terms: sin is forgiven, blotted out (Ex 32: 32), purged (Is 6: 7), cast behind your back (Is 38: 17). For example, Psalm 103 says, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases (v. 3). He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities... As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him (vv. 10, 13) It is true that God is always ready to forgive, as Pope Francis has repeatedly said, and it is also true that He never tires of forgiving. (Cf. MV, 22) However, God s willingness to forgive, says St. John Paul II, does not lessen man s responsibility and his need to be converted [ ] As the prophet Ezekiel stresses, if the wicked man turns away from his wrongful behavior his sins will not be remembered and he will live (cf. Ez 18, especially vv ). In the New Testament, God s forgiveness is revealed through Jesus words and deeds. In pardoning sins, Jesus shows the face of God the merciful Father. By opposing certain religious tendencies marked by hypocritical severity towards sinners, He shows on various occasions how great and profound is the Father s mercy towards all his children (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1443). The high point of this revelation can be considered the sublime parable which is usually called the prodigal son, but which should be called the merciful father (Lk 15: 11-32), said JPII. Here God s attitude is presented in terms that are truly overwhelming in comparison with human criteria and expectations. [ ] The father, catching sight of him while still a long way off, runs to meet him full of compassion (or better, inwardly moved with pity, as the Greek text literally says: Lk 15: 20), embraces him lovingly and wants everyone to celebrate with him. [ ] Forgiveness consists not only in taking back under the paternal roof the son who has left, but also in welcoming him with the joy of restored communion, bringing him from death to life. This is why it was fitting to make merry and be glad (Lk 15: 32). The merciful Father, who embraces the prodigal son is the definitive icon of God revealed by Christ. First and foremost, he is Father. It is God the Father who extends his arms in blessing and forgiveness, always waiting, never forcing any of his children. His hands support, clasp, give strength and, at the same time, comfort, console and caress. They are the hands of both a father and a mother, said St. John Paul II. In recounting this parable, Jesus does not only speak of the Father but also lets us glimpse his own sentiments. To the Pharisees and the scribes who accused him of receiving sinners and eating with them (cf. Lk, 15: 2), he shows his preference for the sinners and tax collectors who were approaching him with trust (cf. Lk, 15: 1), and thus reveals that he has been sent to manifest the Father s mercy. This is the mercy that shines brightly especially on Golgotha, in the sacrifice offered by Christ for the forgiveness of sins (cf. Mt 26: 28). May God bless you all! Fr.
