JESUS’ MINISTRY SUMMARIZED
T he story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead is the single longest story (apart from the Passion) in the Gospel of John. In it we find a summary of most of Jesus’
ministry. We see his very human nature as he is moved by Martha and Mary’s sorrows and as he himself weeps at the tomb of Lazarus. He is the wisdom of God’s Word made flesh as he explains to his followers that the death of Laz-arus will serve as a sign of the glory of God. He crowns the miracles he works in John’s Gos-pel (which began with the most “human” mira-cle of making new wine at Cana’s wedding) by raising Lazarus from the dead—a “preview,” if you will, of his own death and resurrection to come. This portrait of Jesus reminds us, as we near the end of our Lenten journey, that he is with us, knows us, under-stands us in every moment of our lives. He knows the joy of our human feasting, he knows the sorrow of our weeping. As we prepare to walk with him through the days of Holy Week, we are filled with faith that—through Christ—God’s glory will be with us in every moment of our lives and—with Christ—in our life everlasting.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
N ot until the thirteenth century do we find a mention of a locked tabernacle. There’s some evidence for eucharistic towers also, but often these were in
an obscure corner of the church, or even in the off-limits sacristy. Many of us grew up “making visits” to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, but it’s clear this would raise some medieval eye-brows in confusion! To the pre-sent day, the Eucharist is always reserved only in a side chapel in many cathedrals.

Fifth Sunday of Lent
burning in his new diocese. The people patiently ex-plained that their churches were woven of grass, and that they decided to place a chief’s standard, a tri-dent, in front of the tabernacle. That was a sign in their culture that the “chief” was at home, like raising the flag over Buckingham Palace. The bishop, an Irish import, didn’t appreciate the British reference, so he ordered the candles back. The first church to burn to the ground was the cathedral, and after two more, the chief’s tridents returned. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

RESUMEN DEL MINISTERIO DE JESÚS
E l relato de cómo Lázaro revivió de entre los muertos es el relato más largo (además de la Pasión) en el Evan-
gelio según san Juan. En él encontramos un resumen de la mayor parte del ministe-rio de Jesús. Vemos su natu-raleza humana cuando se conmueve con la tristeza de Marta y de María y cuando él mismo llora frente a la tumba de Lázaro. Es la sabiduría de la Palabra de Dios hecha carne cuando le explica a sus seguidores que la muerte de Lázaro servirá como una señal de la gloria de Dios. Corona los milagros que obra en el Evangelio según san Juan (que comenzó con el milagro más “humano” de hacer más vino en la boda de Ca-ná) reviviendo a Lázaro de entre los muertos; un “avance”, por así decirlo, de su propia muerte y resu-rrección por venir. Este retrato de Jesús nos recuerda, mientras estamos cerca del fin de nuestro viaje de Cuaresma, que él está con nosotros, nos conoce, nos comprende en cada momento de nuestra vida. Conoce la alegría de nuestras celebraciones humanas, conoce la tristeza de nuestro llanto. Mientras nos preparamos para caminar con él en los días de Semana Santa, tenemos fe de que –por Cristo– la gloria de Dios esta-rá con nosotros a cada momento de nuestra vida y –con Cristo– en nuestra vida eterna.

TRACICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
V icente Ferrer, patrón de los obreros de la construcción, falleció el 5 de abril de 1419. Este santo
varón nació en Va-lencia, España, en 1350, vivió y predi-có el Evangelio en una época muy difí-cil del cristianismo. Además de la peste, guerras y otros problemas sociales, la Iglesia estaba dividida por dos o tres hombres que insistían ser el verdadero Papa. Vicente, un religioso dominico, dedicó su vida a reconstruir la Iglesia promoviendo la virtud de la ca-ridad interna y externa mediante una predicación que relacionaba la Palabra de Dios con la vida coti-diana. Vicente se valía de la teología, poesía, repeti-
ción y otros medios para inculcar la sabiduría bíblica en sus oyentes. De esta manera supo construir la fe tanto en los fieles y en la Iglesia como comunidad. Los cuadros de este santo español normalmente lo presentan con una llama ardiente en una mano y en la otra, con una Biblia abierta. De esta manera los artistas subrayan el amor ardiente que los cristianos debemos tener por la Palabra de Dios, un amor que Vicente edificaba en el corazón de los fieles.
