Reflecting on God’s Word
One of the earliest pictures of Jesus I can remember portrayed him at prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. I still
see his hands, clasped tight. They spoke to me of an inner
struggle long before I knew about his words, “Father, all
things are possible to you. Take this cup away from me,
but not what I will but what you will” (Mark 14:36).
More than any other scene in the Gospels, this one
brought home what it meant to say Jesus was truly man.
Today’s Gospel has been called John’s version of the
agony in the garden. The word agony (agonia in Greek)
means struggle, and we can hear the struggle in Jesus’
awareness that “the hour” he has spoken of before in
John’s Gospel, beginning at Cana, has finally arrived. It
is the hour of his being lifted up—the hour of both his
glory and his crucifixion. It is why he came into the
world, and yet we hear him say, “I am troubled.” We hear
him wrestling with himself, asking for release from the
hour, but then recognizing that it holds “the purpose for
which I came.”
Hebrews affirms this when it says “he offered prayers
and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one able
to save him from death, and he was heard because of his
reverence” (5:7). He was able to bear the suffering and
become the source of eternal salvation for all who listen
to him and follow in his steps. James A Wallace, CSsR
Living God’s Word
Loving God, give us a new heart in these final days of
Lent, a heart that carries within it your loving imprint,
that we may always know your will and yield to it, even
when it calls for a dying of some kind. In such dying,
may we trust that you will bring forth new life.

For Christians, body and spirit are
profoundly integrated. Each human
being is a unity of body and soul. We
cannot debase or abuse the body
without inflicting a cost on the spirit.

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
self‑sacrifice to which disciples are called, a symbol of
that new covenant written deep within our hearts.
