5th Sunday of Lent
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 selfsacrifice to which disciples are called, a symbol of that
new covenant written deep within our hearts.

2• CHRIST, THE GOOD SHEPHERD PARISH, CAMPBELL, OHIO
PASTOR’S
Next week is Palm Sunday. Let us stay committed to our
Lenten observances these final days of preparation for Easter.
This week is the Annunciation. We once again ask for
Mary’s intercession and guidance as we strive to have Jesus
take flesh in our lives more and more. The evening of the 25th
will be the final night of our Soup and Bread Mission.
I want to thank you for your generosity for the collection for
the AED. We will have another on April 5. And, by way of
reminder, our 2nd collection next week will be for our
Diocesan assessments.
Finally, I want to continue our hearing of Pope Francis’
Lenten Message:
“Where is your brother?” (Gen 4:9)
All that we have been saying about the universal Church must
now be applied to the life of our parishes and communities.
Do these ecclesial structures enable us to experience being
part of one body? A body which receives and shares what
God wishes to give? A body which acknowledges and cares
for its weakest, poorest and most insignificant members? Or
do we take refuge in a universal love that would embrace the
whole world, while failing to see the Lazarus sitting before
our closed doors?
The prayers of the Church on earth establish a communion of
mutual service and goodness which reaches up into the sight
of God. Together with the saints who have found their
fulfilment in God, we form part of that communion in which
indifference is conquered by love.
We share in the merits and joy of the saints, even as they
share in our struggles and our longing for peace and
reconciliation. Their joy in the victory of the Risen Christ
gives us strength as we strive to overcome our indifference
and hardness of heart.
Every Christian community is called to go out of itself and to
be engaged in the life of the greater society of which it is a
part, especially with the poor and those who are far away. The
Church is missionary by her very nature; she is not selfenclosed but sent out to every nation and people.
Her mission is to bear patient witness to the One who desires
to draw all creation and every man and woman to the Father.
Her mission is to bring to all a love which cannot remain
silent. The Church follows Jesus Christ along the paths that
lead to every man and woman, to the very ends of the earth
(cf. Acts 1:8). In each of our neighbours, then, we must see a
brother or sister for whom Christ died and rose again. What
we ourselves have received, we have received for them as
well. Similarly, all that our brothers and sisters possess is a
gift for the Church and for all humanity.
Dear brothers and sisters, how greatly I desire that all those
places where the Church is present, ‡•’‡…‹ƒŽŽ›‘—”parishes
and our communities, may become islands of mercy in the
midst of the sea of indifference!
God bless you,
Fr. Conoboy

La próxima semana es Domingo de Ramos. Sigamos
comprometidos con nuestras celebraciones Cuaresmales
estos últimos días de preparación para la Pascua. Esta
semana es la Anunciacion. Una vez mas pedimos por la
intercesión y guía de Maria asi como nos esforzamos para
que Jesus se haga carne en nuestras vidas cada vez mas. La
noche del 25 será la ultima noche de nuestra Mision con
Sopa y Pan. Les quiero agredecer por su generosidad con la
colecta para el AED. Tendremos otra el 5 de Abril y les
quiero recordar que nuestra segunda colecta de la semana
que viene es para nuestro Diocesan Assesments.
Finalmente, quiero continuar nuestra audencia del Mensaje
Cuaresmal del Papa Francisco:
.«¿Dónde está tu hermano?» (Gn 4,9) – Las parroquias y las
comunidades
Lo que hemos dicho para la Iglesia universal es necesario
traducirlo en la vida de las parroquias y comunidades. En
estas realidades eclesiales ¿se tiene la experiencia de que
formamos parte de un solo cuerpo? ¿Un cuerpo que recibe y
comparte lo que Dios quiere donar? ¿Un cuerpo que conoce
a sus miembros más débiles, pobres y pequeños, y se hace
cargo de ellos? ¿O nos refugiamos en un amor universal que
se compromete con los que están lejos en el mundo, pero
olvida al Lázaro sentado delante de su propia puerta cerrada?
Cuando la Iglesia terrenal ora, se instaura una comunión de
servicio y de bien mutuos que llega ante Dios. Junto con los
santos, que encontraron su plenitud en Dios, formamos parte
de la comunión en la cual el amor vence la indiferencia.
También nosotros participamos de los méritos y de la alegría
de los santos, así como ellos participan de nuestra lucha y
nuestro deseo de paz y reconciliación. Su alegría por la
victoria de Cristo resucitado es para nosotros motivo de
fuerza para superar tantas formas de indiferencia y de dureza
de corazón.
Por otra parte, toda comunidad cristiana está llamada a
cruzar el umbral que la pone en relación con la sociedad que
la rodea, con los pobres y los alejados. La Iglesia por
naturaleza es misionera, no debe quedarse replegada en sí
misma, sino que es enviada a todos los hombres.
Esta misión es el testimonio paciente de Aquel que quiere
llevar toda la realidad y cada hombre al Padre. La misión es
lo que el amor no puede callar. La Iglesia sigue a Jesucristo
por el camino que la lleva a cada hombre, hasta los confines
de la tierra (cf. Hch 1,8). Así podemos ver en nuestro
prójimo al hermano y a la hermana por quienes Cristo murió
y resucitó. Lo que hemos recibido, lo hemos recibido
también para ellos. E, igualmente, lo que estos hermanos
poseen es un don para la Iglesia y para toda la humanidad.
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, cuánto deseo que los
lugares en los que se manifiesta la Iglesia, en particular
nuestras parroquias y nuestras comunidades, lleguen a ser
islas de misericordia en medio del mar de la indiferencia.
Que Dios te bendiga,
P. Conoboy
