Este Año Jubilar, también se nos anima a peregrinar a los lugares de peregrinación del este de Oregón designados por el arzobispo Sample, que sirven como faros de esperanza encendidos por oraciones y acciones. Nos sentimos honrados de que Shepherd of the Valley haya sido elegido como un lugar oficial de peregrinación.

En la bula papal que anuncia el Año Jubilar 2025, el Papa Francisco pide a los fieles que encuentren “formas adecuadas para que el Año Santo sea planificado y celebrado con fe profunda, esperanza viva y caridad activa”. Se nos anima a redescubrir las obras de misericordia corporales y espirituales, ya que estamos llamados a ser signos tangibles de esperanza para aquellos de nuestros hermanos y hermanas que experimentan dificultades de cualquier tipo.
Obras de misericordia espirituales: aconsejar a los que dudan, instruir a los ignorantes, amonestar a los pecadores, consolar a los afligidos, perdonar las ofensas, soportar con paciencia a los que nos hacen daño y orar por los vivos y los muertos.
Obras corporales de misericordia: dar de comer al hambriento, dar de beber al sediento, vestir al desnudo, acoger al extranjero, sanar al enfermo, visitar al preso y enterrar al muerto.
Para animar a todos los feligreses a participar en la difusión de la esperanza en este año jubilar, hemos elaborado un calendario completo de actividades para 2025 que incorpora una variedad de prácticas para apoyar su redescubrimiento de las obras corporales y espirituales de misericordia. ¡Planifique asistir a tantas de estas actividades como pueda e invite a sus familiares y amigos!
