REFLECTION ON THE YEAR OF MERCY Emily shares that one of the greatest encounters of mercy she’s experienced came through confession: “For many years my confessions had been just going through the motions. I’d been holding onto a sin for a long time, not bringing it to the Lord out of fear and shame. But I reached a point where I knew I needed to confess it. I cried in the confessional line because I was so scared, but when I shared it with the priest, he didn’t condemn me like I thought he would. He was super gentle and merciful. After absolution, I left feeling so free from the burden of that sin! I needed mercy and healing, not condemnation, and that’s what God gave me. God is always there, waiting to extend his mercy. I just wish I hadn’t waited for so long!” Find ways to receive God’s mercy at mercy.adw.org. MARYLAND’S PRIMARY ELECTION Tuesday, April 26 is Maryland’s primary election. The Maryland Catholic Conference surveyed the state’s 2016

T ALK WITH YOUR LOVED ONES ON END-OF-LIFE ISSUES Illness and death: too often we are unprepared for the questions that arise and find ourselves making difficult decisions in the midst of a crisis. Maryland’s bishops have released a pastoral letter, Comfort and Consolation, on care for the sick and dying, so that when illness and death inevitably come, we can face them with the comfort and peace of understanding our faith, and knowing Our Lord is there to embrace us in our hour of need. Visit the Maryland Catholic Conference at www.mdcathcon.org/comfort to download copies. PREPARING WELL AT CATHOLIC CEMETERIES When there is a death in the family, major decisions need to be made quickly, usually by people who are grief-stricken. Yet, CCAW Cemetery Managers note the presence of some peace among families whose loved ones have prepared well and made cemetery arrangements before time of death. This preparation is an act of hope and faith in the life to come. It’s a way of taking care of family and friends then by making decisions for them now. Families can gather preliminary information on cemetery property prices, choices for memorialization and other options by visiting the Archdiocese of Washington Catholic Cemetery website at www.ccaw.org.

“There is a failure to realize that only the exclusive and indissoluble union between a man and a woman has a plenary role to play in society as a stable commitment that bears fruit in new life. We need to acknowledge the great variety of family situations that can offer a certain stability, but de facto or same-sex unions, for example, may not simply be equated with marriage. No union that is temporary or closed to the transmission of life can ensure the future of society.” Francis, apostolic exhortation, Amoris leatitia 52.
