El añ o de la misericordia ya ha terminado pero nos
dejó un sinfı́n de bendiciones. La misericordia, la
generosidad y la magnanimidad de Dios continú an a
ser vividas en nuestra vida, familia y comunidad

nacimiento de Jesú s, el ú nico hijo engendrado. Este
gran amor y misericordia de Dios se expresa siempre
con gozosa esperanza y amor en los festejos de las
celebracioneslitú rgicas,lastradicionesfamiliaresylas
