Fifth Sunday of Lent
Dear Parishioners,
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.
Fr. Wilfredo Contreras

Quinto Domingo
de Cuaresma
Estimados Feligreses
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.
Fr. Wilfredo Contreras
Lecturas del próximo Domingo
Evangelio para la procesión de las palmas — ¡Bendito el que
viene en nombre del Señor! (Marcos 11:1-10 o Juan 12:1216)
Primera lectura — No oculté el rostro a insultos y salivazos,
porque sabía que no quedaría avergonzado (Isaías 50:4-7).
Salmo — Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado?
(Salmo 22 (21)).
Segunda lectura — Jesús se despojó totalmente y Dios lo llenó de exaltación (Filipenses 2:6-11).
Evangelio — La versión de la Pasión y Muerte de Jesús
que nos da Marcos (Marcos 14:1 — 15:47 [15:1-39])
