3 SAN FERNANDO CATHEDRAL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS MARCH 22, 2015 A message from Fr. Tony THE NEW COVENANT When the prophet Jeremiah coined the term new covenant he was actually doing something quite radical. For the Jewish people, there was only one covenant, the one made between the Lord God and Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai. For Jeremiah to suggest that God would somehow supersede the covenant with a new one would have sounded audacious to Jewish ears. But in this way he is a predecessor of Jesus who, in the Gospel of John, is continually portrayed as superseding the past, establishing the reign of God in a new way. And in today s Gospel passage, Jesus the new covenant speaks the language of his new commandment of love when he tells of the dying grain of wheat, and of our own need to die to self in order to be raised with Christ. As Lent ends and we prepare to enter into Holy Week, the dying grain of wheat serves as an excellent symbol of the kind of dying and self sacrifice to which disciples are called, a symbol of that new covenant written deep within our hearts. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co TODAY S READINGS First Reading I will make a new covenant; I will write my law upon their hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-34) or Ezekiel 37: Psalm Create a clean heart in me, O God (Psalm 51) or Psalm 130. Second Reading Christ learned obedience and became the source of eternal salvation (Hebrews 5:7-9) or Romans 8:8-11. Gospel If a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it produces much fruit (John 12:20-33) or John 11:1-45 [3-7, 17, 20-27, 33b-45]. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Dn 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, [41c-62]; Ps 23:1-6; Jn 8:1-11 Tuesday: Nm 21:4-9; Ps 102:2-3, 16-21; Jn 8:21-30 Wednesday: Is 7:10-14; 8:10; Ps 40:7-11; Heb 10:4-10; Lk 1:26-38 Thursday: Gn 17:3-9; Ps 105:4-9: Jn 8:51-59 Friday: Jer 20:10-13; Ps 18:2-7; Jn 10:31-42 Saturday: Ez 37:21-28; Jer 31:10, 11-13; Jn 11:45-56 Sunday: Mk 11:1-10 or Jn 12:12-16 (procession); Is 50:4-7; Ps 22:8-9, 17-20, 23-24; Phil 2:6-11; Mk 14:1 15:47 [15:1-39] Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony LA NUEVA ALIANZA Cuando el profeta Jeremías creó el término nueva alianza hacía algo muy radical. Para el pueblo judío, sólo había una alianza, la que el Señor Dios había hecho con Israel por medio de Moisés en el Monte Sinaí. Cuando Jeremías dice que de alguna manera Dios va a reemplazar la antigua alianza con una nueva, seguro que sus oyentes pensaban que era algo muy atrevido. De ese modo Jeremías es un predecesor de Jesús, quien, en el Evangelio de Juan se presenta siempre como alguien que reemplaza el pasado, estableciendo el Reino de Dios de una manera nueva. Y en el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús, la nueva alianza habla con el lenguaje del nuevo mandamiento de amor cuando menciona el grano de trigo que muere y nuestra propia muerte al egoísmo para poder resucitar con Cristo. Al finalizar la Cuaresma y al prepararnos a entrar en la Semana Santa, el grano de trigo que muere es un símbolo excelente del tipo de muerte y autosacrificio al que los discípulos están llamados, un símbolo de esa nueva alianza escrita en lo más profundo de nuestro corazón. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura El Señor hará una nueva alianza con la casa de Israel. (Jeremías 31:31-34) o Ezequiel 37: Salmo Oh Dios, crea en mí un corazón puro (Salmo 51 (50)) o Salmo 130 (129). Segunda lectura Cristo aprendió obediencia, y los que ahora le obedecen encuentran en él la salvación eterna (Hebreos 5:7-9) o Romanos 8:8-11. Evangelio Si el grano de trigo cae en tierra y muere, da mucho fruto (Juan 12:20-33) o Juan 11:1-45 LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Dn 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, [41c-62]; Sal 23 (22):1-6; Jn 8:1-11 Martes: Nm 21:4-9; Sal 102 (101):2-3, 16-21; Jn 8:21-30 Miércoles: Is 7:10-14; 8:10; Sal 40 (39):7-11; Heb 10:4-10; Lc 1:26-38 Jueves: Gn 17:3-9; Sal 105 (104):4-9: Jn 8:51-59 Viernes: Jer 20:10-13; Sal 18 (17):2-7; Jn 10:31-42 Sábado: Ez 37:21-28; Jer 31:10, 11-13; Jn 11:45-56 Domingo: Mc 11:1-10 o Jn 12:12-16 (procesión); Is 50:4-7; Sal 22 (21):8-9, 17-20, 23-24; Fil 2:6-11; Mc 14:1 15:47 [15:1-39]

In old Jerusalem at this season of the year, the a empt was made to recall the events leading up to Christ s passion. Those a empts were based not only on me, with celebra ons of events as close to the day and hour as possible, but also on people s best guesses as to the actual place of these events. Vast numbers of pilgrims flooded the city during the forty days of Lent, many of them catechumens in their last stages of prepara on for ini a on. The fourth-century Spanish nun Egeria wrote a deligh ully detailed diary of her experience of this lively and aerobic liturgy, which involved hearty singing, strong preaching, and nimble processions across vast and arduous terrain. Much of this energy was lost over the centuries, with the procession of palms a noteworthy excep on. Northern climates had to reinterpret this Jerusalem liturgy, using forsythia, willow, or olive branches, but to this day the entry into Holy Week by a community on the move accompanied by joyful song hearkens back to a venerable tradi on. Egeria s le ers were rediscovered a li le more than a hundred years ago, but they reveal a pa ern of prayer: full, conscious, ac ve par cipa on, to which we have a right and a duty. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. The SFDP Altar/ Rosary Society is taking orders for Easter Lilies to help decorate our beau ful church for Easter.
