A message from Fr. Tony
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
THE NEW COVENANT
LA NUEVA ALIANZA
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.
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.

As we approach Holy Week, the creaƟve juices of the ancient church of Jerusalem begin to shape our journey. In
old Jerusalem at this season of the year, the aƩempt was
made to recall the events leading up to Christ’s passion.
Those aƩempts were based not only on Ɵme, with celebraƟons 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 preparaƟon for iniƟaƟon.
The fourth-century Spanish nun Egeria wrote a delighƞully
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 excepƟon. 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
tradiƟon. Egeria’s leƩers were rediscovered a liƩle more
than a hundred years ago, but they reveal a paƩern of
prayer: full, conscious, acƟve parƟcipaƟon, to which we
have a right and a duty.
