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.

I will place my law within them

and write it upon their hearts;

I will be their God,

and they shall be my people.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

As we approach Holy Week, the creative juices of the ancient church of Jerusalem begin to shape our journey. In old Jerusalem at this season of the year, the attempt was made to recall the events leading up to Christ’s passion. Those attempts were based not only on time, with celebrations of events as close to the day and hour as pos‑sible, 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 prepa‑ration for initiation. The fourth-century Spanish nun Egeria wrote a delightfully 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 proces‑sion of palms a noteworthy exception. Northern climates had to rein‑terpret this Jerusalem liturgy, using forsythia, willow, or olive branch‑es, 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‑tion. Egeria’s letters were rediscovered a little more than a hundred years ago, but they reveal a pattern of prayer: full, conscious, active participation, to which we have a right and a duty.

LA NUEVA ALIANZA

Cuando el profeta Jeremí as creo el te rmino “nueva alianza” hací a algo muy radical. Para el pueblo judí o, so lo habí a una alianza, la que el Sen or Dios habí a he‑cho con Israel por medio de Moise s en el Monte Sinaí . Cuando Jeremí as 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 Jeremí as es un predecesor de Jesu s, 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, Jesu s, “la nueva alianza” habla con el lenguaje del “nuevo mandamiento” de amor cuando menciona el grano de trigo que muere y nues‑tra propia muerte al egoí smo para poder resucitar con Cristo. Al finalizar la Cuaresma y al prepararnos a en‑trar en la Semana Santa, el grano de trigo que muere es un sí mbolo excelente del tipo de muerte y autosa‑crificio al que los discí pulos esta n llamados, un sí mbo‑lo de esa nueva alianza escrita en lo ma s profundo de nuestro corazo n.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Basa ndose en las palabras de Jesu s, Mariano de Blas, compuso su canto: “Entre tus manos”. Este hermoso canto nos recuerda que “hay que morir para vivir”, es decir, que no es nada fa cil ser discí pulo de Jesucristo. El mismo Jesu s nos pide que nos neguemos a nosotros mismos (Mateo 16:24); que carguemos la cruz para seguirlo (Marcos 8:34); que perdamos nuestra vida por su nombre (Lucas 9:24). Todo esto porque Jesu s recono‑ce que el grano de trigo debe morir para dar vida, para multiplicarse (Juan 12:24).

El canto: “Una espiga dorada por el sol”, de Cesa reo Gabara in, nos recuerda que los cristianos somos trigo del mismo sembrador. Es Jesu s quien nos siembra, nos cultiva, nos cosecha, nos tritura, nos amasa, y nos hace un solo pan consagrado a Dios. Somos granos de trigo que, unidos formamos el pan de la comunio n que es comunidad. Para esto, cada uno debe morir a sus egoí smos y preferencias. Morir a sí mismo tiene sentido cristiano, so lo si es para trabajar unidos y en la misio n de Cristo, la cual es salvacio n del mundo y construccio n del Reino de Dios. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
