Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.

Jeremiah 31:31-34
I will make a new covenant and remember their sin no more.
Psalm 51
“Create a clean heart in me, O God.”
Hebrews 5:7-9
Christ learned obedience and became the source of eternal salvation.
John 12:20-33
If a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it produces much fruit.
In the first reading, Jeremiah preaches the new covenant, when the law of the Lord is internalized and written upon the hearts of all who believe. With a new heart, we will have knowledge and obedience of God’s will. John describes this knowledge and obedience in Jesus, who realizes that, like the grain of wheat, he must die to this world in order to produce much fruit. It is fitting then, to ask God in the responsorial psalm, “Create a clean heart in me… and a willing spirit sustain in me.”

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is an event that draws all of creation toward God. When we take part in the devotion of the Stations of the Cross, traditionally we say, "Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world." That means more than just the people of this world; it means all of creation.
As good stewards, we are called to attest to the glory of God in all he has created. Everywhere we look we can see evidence of his handiwork and have the opportunity to reflect on how he has created the world for our benefit. Seeing all of creation as redeemed because of the dying and rising of Christ helps us with this reflection. Truly, all things are made new.
With only two weeks left in Lent, we still have a chance to echo the words of this Sunday's psalm, “Create a clean heart in me, O God."“ Perhaps we are unable to see the glory of God in creation because of our own sin. We need to repent and return to God, and then we can see with new eyes. Make this Easter a time for real, meaningful celebration as all of creation sings to the Lord.

Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma
Por la sangre de Cristo hemos recibido la bendición, el perdón de los pecados
Somos seres de carne y hueso y por eso somos pecado-res. Pero también tenemos el Espíritu de Cristo que habita en nosotros y con ese poder podemos vencer el pecado. El Señor nos llama incesantemente a seguirle, sin importar lo que ha sucedido antes. Con un corazón nuevo tendremos el conocimiento y la obediencia para hacer la voluntad de Dios.
¿Pregunta de la Semana?
Cuando perdono a alguien¿ me olvido o continuo la
ofensa afectando nuestra relación?
Solemnidad de San José
El 19 de marzo, es la Fiesta de San José.
“Es custodio porque sabe escuchar
a Dios, se deja guiar por su volun-
tad, y precisamente por eso es mas
sensible aun a las personas que se le
han confiado, sabe como leer con
realismo los acontecimientos, esta
atento a lo que le rodea, y sabe to-
mar las decisiones mas sensatas” Papa Francisco
