Regina Caeli: With mercy violence and rancor have no sense
2017-04-23 Vatican Radio
In his Angelus address in a sunny St Peter’s Square, Pope France recalled the Church tradition of calling the first Sunday after Easter “in albis”, an expression he said, meant to recall the rite of those who had received baptism in white on the Easter Vigil. The Pope went on to say that in the Jubilee of Year of 2000, St. John Paul II established that this particular Sunday was to be dedicated to Divine Mercy. In the last months, the Holy Father said, “we have concluded the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy and this Sunday invites us to resume the grace that comes from the mercy of God.” Drawing inspiration from the Gospel reading of the day, the Holy Father reminded those present of Jesus’ words, "receive the Holy Spirit. Those to whom you will forgive sins will be for-given ". Here is the sense of the mercy, the forgiving of sins, noted Pope Francis, “that occurs on the day of the resurrection of Jesus.” The Risen Jesus, he continued has sent to his Church, as a first task, his own mission to bring to everyone the concrete announcement of forgiveness. This visible sign of his mercy brings with him the peace of heart and the joy of a renewed en-counter with the Lord. Mercy said the Pope, makes us realize that violence, rancor, and revenge have no sense. Mercy also opens the door of the heart and allows us to express our closeness, above all to those who are alone and marginalized. Mercy, in short, said Pope Francis is everyone committed to be-ing instruments of justice, reconciliation and peace. Let us never forget that mercy, he concluded, is the keystone in the life of faith, and the concrete form in which we give visibility to the resurrection of Jesus. Following the recitation of the Regina Caeli, the Holy Father remembered the Beatification in Oviedo, Spain on Saturday of Father Luis Antonio Rosa Ormières an educator who lived in the nineteenth century, and founded the Congregation of the Sisters of the Guardian Angel. The Pope also greeted Polish pilgrims on the Feast of Divine Mercy and thanked Caritas Poland for their support of so many families in Syria.

RITO DE INICIACION CRISTIANA PARA ADULTOS (RICA)
La Divina Misericordia nos compro-mete a ser instrumentos de paz y hace visible a Jesús Resucitado, dijo el Papa en el rezo del Regina Coeli 2017-23-04 Radio Vaticana
Queridos hermanos y hermanas ¡buenos días! Sabemos que cada domingo hacemos memoria de la resurrección del Señor Jesús, pero en este periodo después de la Pascua, el domingo se reviste de un significado aún más iluminante. En la tradición de la Iglesia, este domingo, el primero después de la Pascua, se denominaba
‘in albis’. ¿Qué significa esto? Esta expresión se proponía evocar el rito que cumplían cuantos habían recibido el bautismo en la Vigilia de Pascua. A cada uno de ellos se les entregaba una túnica blanca – ‘alba’ – ‘blanca’, para indicar la nueva dignidad de los hijos de Dios. Aún hoy se sigue haciendo, a los recién nacidos se les ofrece una pequeña túnica simbólica, al tiempo que los adultos visten una verdadera, como vimos en la Vigi-lia Pascual. Y aquella túnica blanca, en el pasado, se llevaba puesta durante una semana, hasta este domingo y de ello deriva el nombre ‘in albis deponendis’, que significa el domingo en el que se quita la túnica blanca. Y así, cuando se quitaban la túnica blanca, los neófitos comenzaban una vida nueva en Cristo y en la Iglesia. Hay otra cosa. En el Jubileo del año 2000, San Juan Pablo II estableció que este domin-go se dedicara a la Divina Misericordia. ¡Es verdad, fue una bella intuición: fue el Espí-ritu Santo el que lo inspiró en esto! Desde hace pocos meses hemos concluido el Jubileo extraordinario de la Misericordia y este domingo nos invita a retomar con fuerza la gra-cia que proviene de la misericordia de Dios. El Evangelio de hoy es la narración de la aparición de Cristo resucitado a los discípulos reunidos en el cenáculo (cfr Jn 20, 19-31). Escribe San Juan que Jesús, después de haber saludado a sus discípulos, les dijo: «Como el Padre me envió a mí, yo también los envío a ustedes». Al decirles esto, sopló sobre ellos y añadió «Reciban al Espíritu Santo. Los pecados serán perdonados a los que uste-des se los perdonen» ( 21- 23). He aquí el sentido de la misericordia que se presenta jus-to el día de la resurrección de Jesús como perdón de los pecados. Jesús Resucitado ha transmitido a su Iglesia, como primera tarea, su misma misión de llevar a todos el anun-cio concreto del perdón. Ésta es la primera tarea: anunciar el perdón. Este signo visible de su misericordia lleva consigo la paz del corazón y la alegría del encuentro renovado con el Señor. La misericordia en la luz de la Pascua se deja percibir como una verdadera forma de conocimiento. Y esto es importante: la misericordia es una verdadera forma de conoci-miento. Sabemos que se conoce a través de tantas formas. Se conoce a través de los sen-tidos, se conoce a través de la intuición, la razón y otras más. Pues bien, ¡se puede cono-cer también a través de la experiencia de la misericordia. Porque la misericordia abre la puerta de la mente para comprender mejor el misterio de Dios y de nuestra existencia personal. La misericordia nos hace comprender que la violencia, el rencor, la venganza no tienen sentido alguno y que la primera víctima es la que vive con estos sentimientos, porque se priva de su propia dignidad. La misericordia abre también la puerta del cora-zón y permite expresar cercanía, sobre todo a cuantos están solos y marginados, porque los hace sentir hermanos e hijos de un solo Padre. Ella favorece el reconocimiento de cuantos tienen necesidad de consolación y hace encontrar palabras adecuadas para dar conforto. Hermanos y hermanas, la misericordia calienta el corazón y lo vuelve sensible a las necesidades de los hermanos con el compartir y la participación. La misericordia, en resumen, nos compromete a todos a ser instrumentos de justicia, de reconciliación y de paz. Nunca olvidemos que la misericordia es la clave en la vida de fe y la forma con-creta con la que damos visibilidad a la resurrección de Jesús. Que María, Madre de la Misericordia, nos ayude a creer y a vivir con alegría a todo esto.
