FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT MARCH 22, 2015 QUINTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA 22 DE MARZO DEL 2015

QUINTO DOMENICA DI QUARESIMA 22 DI MARZO, 2015

“Some Greeks… came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him ‘Sir, we would like to see Jesus.’ Philip went and told Andrew, then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified’… ‘And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.’”

Our world today is marked by networking. One knows someone else, a good word is offered, we get a foot in the door, and success follows. The first step though is ‘who you know.’ Such was the case in the gospel event. Foreigners approached Philip, who turned to Andrew, and the consultation was made. John’s gospel once again refers to ‘His hour’ and Jesus tells us the voice spoke for our benefit. What does it say? We are not unlike the pagan who approached Philip, but we do know to whom to turn. We have countless opportunities to see Jesus. We find Him in the Eucharist, inviting us to adoration. We find Him in the sacraments where He reaches out to touch us. We find Him in the poor, the marginalized, the ‘least of His brothers and sisters.’ ‘Sir, I too would like to see Jesus.’ “Unos griegos ... le dijeron a Felipe: ‘Señor, queremos ver a Jesús’. Felipe fue a decírselo a Andrés, y ambos se lo dijeron a Jesús. El les respondió: ‘Ha llegado la hora en que el Hijo del hombre va a ser glorificado.’ ... ‘y cuando yo sea levantado en alto sobre la tierra, atraeré a todos hacia mí.’” Nuestro mundo moderno consiste de una red de contactos. Fulano conoce a sutano, se ofrece una recomendación, metemos el pie en la puerta, y se consigue el éxito. El primer paso es ‘un conocido’. Tal fue el caso en el evento del evangelio. Unos extranjeros se acercaron a Felipe, quien en vez le habló a Andrés, y se hizo la consulta. El evangelio de Juan se refiere una vez más a ‘La Hora’ y Jesús nos dice que la voz habló para nuestro beneficio. ¿Qué nos dice? Que no somos diferentes al pagano que se acercó a Felipe, que sí sabemos a quién buscar. Tenemos incontables oportunidades de ver a Jesús. Lo encontramos en la eucaristía, invitándonos a adorarlo. Lo encontramos en los sacramentos donde El se acerca a tocarnos. Lo encontramos en los pobres, los marginalizados, ‘en el más pequeño de sus hermanos’. ‘Señor, yo también quiero ver a Jesús.’

Il brano del Vangelo odierno segue immediatamente la narrazione dell’ingresso trionfale del Signore a Gerusalemme. Tutti sembrano averlo accolto: persino alcuni Greci, di passaggio, andarono a rendergli omaggio. Questo è il contesto in cui Giovanni comincia il racconto della Passione. Come in natura, il chicco di grano muore per

generare una nuova vita, così Gesù, con la sua morte, riconduce tutto quanto al Padre. Non è l’acclamazione del popolo che farà venire il Regno, ma il consenso del Padre. Il ministero e l’insegnamento di Gesù testimoniano che egli è venuto da parte del Padre. Aprirci a lui, significa passare dalla conoscenza di quanto egli ha detto o fatto all’accettazione della fede. La voce venuta dal cielo ci riporta alla Trasfigurazione (cf. la seconda domenica di Quaresima). Ma qui, chi sente questa voce, o non la riconosce per nulla, o la percepisce come una vaga forma di approvazione. Eppure tale conferma era proprio destinata a loro. Questo è anche un richiamo per noi: se non siamo pronti ad ascoltare la parola di Dio, anche noi resteremo insensibili. Tutti coloro che vogliono seguire Cristo, che accettano questa nuova via, scelgono di porsi al servizio di Cristo e di camminare al suo fianco. Il significato pregnante di queste parole - essere sempre con lui dovunque egli sia - ci è stato presentato nell’insegnamento e nel nutrimento spirituale della Quaresima. All’avvicinarsi della celebrazione dei misteri pasquali, portiamo in noi la certezza che servire Cristo significa essere onorati dal Padre.

DAILY REFLECTION Daybreaks - Rev. Paul Turner

A Faithless People There are times when any Christian—not

just a Catholic priest– stands amid a faithless people. People will wonder why we believe what we do, why

we sacrifice for others, why we pray. They will wonder what benefit there could be from setting

time aside for daily prayer, when you could be making more money or goofing off with your friends.

Over the years, I’ve become more convinced that faith is a natural part of human life.

We each have a body and a mind. We also have spirit. Some people don’t recognize it. In fact,

they may avoid it. They may turn away from church. They may delight in egoism. They may make sport of

those who believe. You could call them a faithless people. But we all have spirit. Wether we see it or not, we all yearn for God. God made us that way.

Grant me justice, O God; Defend me from a faithless people; From the deceitful and unjust rescue me. You, O God, are my strength. PSALM 43:1-2
