The Prelate urges us to make these words of Saint Josemaría a reality in our life during Lent: “each day is not just one conversion: it is many conversions."

In his first monthly letter for 2016, the Prelate writes about our Lady's role in the upcoming Year of Mercy.

"The first corporal work of mercy the Church recommends to us is centered on visiting and caring for the sick: an effort we see Jesus carrying out frequently during his earthly journey." The Prelate continues his monthly reflections on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.

"Let us show our gratitude to our Holy Father with our deeds and prayer for convoking this special jubilee, a true time of grace for the Church and the world."

Bishop Javier Echevarria this month focuses on the meaning of Advent, "joyful and impatient weeks of preparation for Christmas."

For the Jubilee Year, we will offer each month an audio of the Prelate speaking about each of the works of mercy, with a transcription in English of his words. The December recording is an introduction to the series.

The Prelate writes about the holy souls in purgatory and the last things: “Because of Christ, Christian death has a positive meaning."
