2 Page 2 Our Lady of Peace July 17th, 2016 Dear Parishioners, Continuing our reflection on the sacrament of Penance, today let us explore a dimension which is one of its essential features: reconciliation. Our dear Saint John Paul II in one of his catechesis given on September 22, 1999 taught that: First of all, this aspect of the sacrament serves as an antidote or remedy to the destructive nature of sin. By sinning, man not only distances himself from God, but sows the seed of division in himself and in his relations with others. The process of returning to God therefore implies restoration of the unity jeopardized by sin. Secondly, reconciliation is the Father s gift: he alone can achieve it. This is why it is primarily an appeal which comes from on high: In Christ s name: be reconciled to God (2 Cor 5: 20). As Jesus explains in the parable of the prodigal son (cf. Lk 15: 11-32), forgiving and reconciling people to himself is a celebration for him. In this as in other Gospel passages, the Father not only offers his forgiveness and reconciliation, but at the same time shows how these gifts are a source of joy for everyone. Then, that Holy Pope points out that in the New Testament there is a significant link between the divine fatherhood and the festive joy of a banquet. The kingdom of God, he said, is compared to a joyful feast at which the host is actually the Father (cf. Mt 8: 11; 22: 4; 26: 29). The fulfilment of all salvation history is again expressed in the image of a banquet prepared by God the Father for the wedding feast of the Lamb. Moreover, the reconciliation that comes from the Father is concentrated in Christ himself, the Lamb without blemish offered for our sins (1 Pt 1: 19; Rv 5: 6; 12: 11). Jesus Christ is not only the Reconciler, but Reconciliation itself. As St. Paul teaches, our becoming new creatures, renewed by the Spirit, is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. (2 Cor 5: 18-19) And he develops the idea saying: It is precisely through the mystery of the Cross that our Lord Jesus Christ overcomes the tragedy of the division between man and God. Indeed, with Easter the mystery of the Father s infinite mercy penetrates the darkest roots of human iniquity. There a movement of grace begins which, if accepted with free consent, leads us to taste the sweetness of full reconciliation. The abyss of Christ s pain and abandonment is thus turned into an inexhaustible source of compassionate and reconciling love. The Redeemer retraces a path leading back to the Father, making it possible to experience again the filial relationship that was lost and to confer on human beings the necessary strength to preserve this deep communion with God. Now, we all know that unfortunately, even when we ve been redeemed there is a possibility of sinning again and this calls for constant vigilance. Furthermore, even after forgiveness, the residue of sin remains and must be removed and combatted by a program of penance involving a greater commitment to doing good. This requires first of all the reparation of physical or moral wrongs done to groups or individuals. Conversion thus becomes a continual journey, in which the mystery of reconciliation made present in the sacrament is the point of arrival and departure. The encounter with the forgiving Christ increases in our hearts that dynamism of Trinitarian love which the Ordo Paenitentiae describes in the following way: In the sacrament of Penance the Father receives the repentant children who come back to him, Christ places the lost sheep on his shoulders and brings them back to the sheepfold, and the Holy Spirit resanctifies those who are the temple of God or dwells more fully in them. The expression of all this is the sharing in the Lord s table, begun again or made more ardent; such a return of children from afar brings great rejoicing at the banquet of God s Church (6; cf. also 5 and 19), stated the Holy Father. Thus, I invite all of you, to take advantage of the opportunity to receive this Sacrament as often as you need to. St. Isidore of Seville used to say: Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy. Fr.

Featured Parish Group: Our Lady of Peace Lectors Our Lady of Peace parishioners generously donated this Our Lady of Perpetual Help Chasuble to Fr. Joseph LoJacono s parents home parish in Salem, Virginia. The parish is called Our Lady of Perpetual Help. They did not have a chasuble as it was used for the burial of their pastor who just recently passed away. They blessed the chasuble on the feast day of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, June 27th. Lectors are members of the Assembly who proclaim the Word of God during weekdays and/or Sunday Masses. They also assist in creating a hospitable and prayerful environment by praying the Prayers of the Faithful, and help direct parishioners to special notices in the bulletin.
