From the Pastor We pick up again with our adult catechesis using the shortened form of the Catechism of the Catholic Church called the Compendium. We are in the section of the creed section of the Catechism under the article I Believe in Jesus Christ the Only Son of God. Here are this week s three questions, with the catechism s answer and my commentary. Yours in Christ, Father Walter How did the messianic entrance into Jerusalem come about? At the established time Jesus chose to go up to Jerusalem to suffer his passion and death, and to rise from the dead. As the Messiah King who shows forth the coming of the Kingdom, he entered into his city mounted on a donkey. He was acclaimed by the little children whose shout of joyful praise is taken up in the Sanctus of the Eucharistic liturgy: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna [save us!] (Matthew 21:9). The liturgy of the Church opens Holy Week by celebrating this entry into Jerusalem. Commentary: The Scriptures preserve a number of Hebrew words which we continue to use in our worship. One such word is Alleluia. Alleluia is an expression of joy. It literally means Praise the LORD. Another such word is Hosanna. It means Save us, and expresses confidence in the saving power of the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Christ, who comes in the name of the LORD. Both these words are incorporated into the Church s liturgy. The Church sings Alleluia before the proclamation of the Gospel to express her joy as she prepares to listen to the words and deeds of Jesus, her Savior. The Church sings Hosanna as part of the Eucharistic Prayer as she gratefully recalls the Lord s passion and death through which he has delivered her from the death of sin. What is the importance of the Paschal Mystery of Jesus? The Paschal Mystery of Jesus, which comprises his passion, death, resurrection, and glorification, stands at the center of the Christian faith because God s saving plan was accomplished once for all by the redemptive death of his Son Jesus Christ. Commentary: The word Paschal comes from the word Passover. In the Old Covenant, Passover was the annual celebration of the events by which the Lord freed Israel from its captivity in Egypt. The highpoint of this act of liberation occurred at the Red Sea when God made a way for Israel to pass through the waters dry-shod while their Egyptian pursuers were drowned. In the New Covenant, the new Passover is the celebration of those events in Jesus life his passion, death, resurrection and glorification by which those who believe in him and received his spirit are freed from captivity to sin and death and become sharers in the immortal life of the Blessed Trinity. What were the accusations by which Jesus was condemned to death? Some of the leaders of Israel accused Jesus of acting against the law, the temple in Jerusalem, and in particular against faith in the one God because he proclaimed himself to be the Son of God. For this reason they handed him over to Pilate so that he might condemn him to death. Commentary: Jesus testified that he came not to abolish the Law of Moses but to fulfill it. He did this in his own Person, by his life and teaching, and ultimately by inaugurating a new Covenant through the shedding of his blood on the Cross. He challenged inadequate ways of understanding and applying the Law, and spoke of himself as God s temple. But most astounding of all, he spoke of God as a Trinity of Persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and himself as the Son of God made man. Some of the leaders of Israel saw this not as a fulfillment of the old Covenant but as its ruination. For this reason, they had Jesus condemned by the Sanhedrin, the supreme religious body of the Jewish people, and handed over to the Roman authorities for execution. But other Jewish leaders, like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, and many other Jews as well, believed that Jesus was indeed the fulfillment of all God s promises to Israel. In time, these Jewish believers in Jesus would be joined by many Gentile believers who together would constitute what St. Paul called the Israel of God.
