THE NEW COVENANT Today’s first reading is an enormously important passage, not only in the history of the Jewish people, but also for us as disciples of Jesus, who see in it a foreshadowing of the Christian dispensation. The prophet announces that God has chosen to forgive the people, and that as a sign of divine forgiveness a new covenant will be established. Contrasting the new covenant with the one made with Moses on Mount Sinai, Jeremiah says that the new covenant will be written on the people’s hearts rather than on tablets of stone. No longer will the community’s tradition be the sole bearer of the covenant; henceforth, God will speak directly and personally to each individual, forgiving sin and calling for a return to God in faithfulness. No longer will mere outward compliance with the dictates of the Law suffice; henceforth, God asks for an obedience that springs from the depths of one’s heart. Precisely that kind of obedience is highlighted in today’s second reading, where the author of the Letter to the Hebrews describes Jesus as the mediator of the new covenant whose obedience has made him the source of salvation for all who, in turn, obey him.

MARCH 26: SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD

"Enriched from the first instant of her conception with the splendor of an entirely unique holiness, the virgin of Nazareth is hailed by the heralding angel, by divine command, as 'full of grace' (cf. Luke 1:28). To the heavenly

messenger she replies: 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word' (Luke 1:38). Thus the daughter of Adam, Mary, consenting to the word of God, became the Mother of Jesus. Committing herself wholeheartedly and impeded by no sin to God's saving will, she devoted herself totally, as a handmaid of the Lord, to the person and work of her Son, under and with him, serving the mystery of redemption, by the grace of Almighty God" (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church/ LG, 56).

Fiesta de María: 25 de marzo Anunciación del Señor

Aunque es una fiesta litúrgicamente del Señor, siempre aparece María en lugar central, ya que es ella la que responde al ángel y abre la puerta a la Encarnación con su

sí. Una práctica muy extendida que conmemora este hecho central de la fe es el rezo del Ángelus. La gente solía comenzar el día con esta oración, interrumpía las faenas diarias al mediodía para rezarlo de nuevo, y concluía su trabajo del día con la misma oración:

El ángel del Señor anunció a María Y concibió por obra y gracia del Espíritu santo He aquí la esclava del Señor Hágase en mi según tu palabra Y el verbo se hizo carne Y habitó entre nosotros.

Te rogamos Señor que derrames tus gracias sobre nosotros. Para que los que hemos conocido por el anuncio del ángel el misterio de la Encarnación de tu divino hijo, por los méritos de su Pasión y su Cruz, seamos llevados a la gloria de la Resurrección. Por el mismo Cristo, nuestro Señor. Amén. ©Nuestra Parroquia 2012

Recuerde en la Misa del domingo de Pascua de Resurrección a sus seres queridos–tanto los que están junto a ustedes como los que ya fallecieron. Escriba sus nombres en el sobre y

deposítelo en la cesta de la colecta. Cualquier donación será gratamente aceptada. Estos sobres están en la entrada de la iglesia y en los bancos. También están disponibles en la Oficina Parroquial durante la semana.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Basándose en las palabras de Jesús, 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 fácil ser discípulo de Jesucristo. El mismo Jesús 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 Jesús reconoce que el grano de trigo debe morir para dar vida, para multiplicarse (Juan 12:24). El canto: “Una espiga dorada por el sol”, de Cesáreo Gabaráin, nos recuerda que los cristianos somos trigo del mismo sembrador. Es Jesús 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 comunión que es comunidad. Para esto, cada uno debe morir a sus egoísmos y preferencias. Morir a sí mismo tiene sentido cristiano, sólo si es para trabajar unidos y en la misión de Cristo, la cual es salvación del mundo y construcción del Reino de Dios. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos�Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Sabías que... Pascua judía Para el judío La Pascua evoca liberación, independencia. En la fiesta de la Pascua, los judíos se reunían a comer cordero asado y ensaladas de hierbas

amargas, recitar bendiciones y cantar salmos. Celebraban la liberación de la esclavitud de su pueblo. Jesús es el nuevo cordero pascual que nos trae la nueva liberación, del pecado y de la muerte.

NUESTRA CULTURA

M ucho de nosotros tenemos trabajos de servicio, y eso no está visto como de gran prestigio, fama o poder. Pero

para muchos, es un modo de vida y tiene una enorme dignidad ya que todo trabajo humano es digno. ©Nuestra Parroquia 2012 EL TRIGO DE DIOS Soy el trigo de Dios, triturado por los dientes de las bestias salvajes para poder convertirme en el puro pan de Cristo. -San Ignacio de Antioquía

ARREPENTIMIENTO Dios ha prometido perdonar al que se arrepiente, pero no ha prometido arrepentimiento al que peca. —San Anselmo
