Ready or not, next Sunday is Palm Sunday which will begin our Holy Week services. The readings today are trying to prepare us for Holy Week, as Jesus reveals that he is the resurrection and the life. The readings for this fifth Sunday of Lent have as their themes death which leads to new life, despair giving way to hope, and new life rising up from the ashes. At the center of all this talk about hope and new life is Jesus. For the past few weeks, John’s Gospel has Jesus trying to reveal who he is to those in need of healing. This week we are treated to the truth about Jesus’ power over death. His friend dies, and he comes to the tomb and weeps. I don’t think he is weeping for Lazarus, because he knows what he has come to do. I think he weeps for all those standing around who don’t yet understand that he is the resurrection and that he is the promised Messiah, who restores eternal life to all the children of God. That is our hope and our joy as we prepare to celebrate the paschal mystery.
Peace,
Father Bob
Once a year, Catholics throughout the Archdiocese are asked to partner with one another to support their parish and the many outreach ministries by contributing to the Catholic Appeal. Many of you have received a letter from Cardinal Seán requesting your early support of the 2023 Appeal. We hope that you will respond to his invitation with a generous gift, knowing that each contribution transforms faith into action. You can make a gift by returning your pledge card or by making an online donation at www.bostoncatholicappeal.org/donate-now. For those who have already made a gift, thank you for your early support! The Appeal is a primary means by which we care for our brothers and sisters, and it all starts with YOU.
