FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT/B READINGS: Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 5:7-9
GOSPEL: John 12:20-30
Upper Mt Gravatt Wishart Parish
Guided by the Holy Spirit, we aim to be an evangelising, faith-filled parish whose members care for one another and are welcoming and inclusive.
...focusing on the One who loved us to the end.
If ever you get the chance to travel to Turkey make sure you go to the Roman ruins at Ephesus. The trip is instructive for all sorts of reasons, not least because two thousand years ago Ephesus was a seaport and now you have to drive inland for over an hour to get there. I wonder what our cities will look like in another two thousand years? But Ephesus is worth the trip. The Roman ruins there, especially the library, are extraordinary. For Christians, however, three other places there capture the imagination. It’s the place to which the great letter in the New Testament was addressed. There are the ruins of the hall in which the important Council of Ephesus met, and there are ruins of a monastery built over what is claimed to be the final home of St John, the Beloved Disciple. There are good reasons to believe that the Gospel of John, from which we read this weekend, was written in Ephesus, 70 years after Jesus’ death. Our Scriptures were inspired by the experience of a flesh and blood community.
Ephesus was a centre of learning, trade, government and religion in the ancient world. We also know that the early Christians were greatly persecuted and martyred there. The early Church was filled with stories of betrayal, torture, death and heroic witness to the faith. The stakes for believing in Jesus were very high. And it was the heroic witness of these martyrs that eventually led to the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity. It should come as no surprise to us then that John's Gospel should have a special focus on sharing in the sufferings of Jesus and the glory to come.
The words of Jesus in today’s Gospel must have been very important to a community that was awash with the blood of their fellow believers. Our foremothers and forefathers in the faith counted themselves blessed to die as Jesus died, alive in the faith of God's love for the world. Just imagine how that community of martyrs first heard these words, ‘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.’ By comparison we have it easy today, but martyrdom comes to all believers in different ways. In the broadest sense a martyr is one who is prepared to pay the price for holding true to Christ. For us now this might mean making serious choices about the company we keep, the business ventures we enter into, the non-violent protests we mount, foregoing luxuries so that others in our world might have necessities, and even remaining faithful to the vows and promises we have made. Christian faith sometimes bites hard, and when it does we know we are sharing in the martyr’s lot.
And what should be our response when our faith in Christ costs us something big? Jesus models it for us in today’s Gospel, ‘…what should I say? “Father, save me from this hour.” No, it was for this purpose that I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name.’ May this final week of Lent, then, see our flesh and blood community be like our forebears in Ephesus and actively seek out ways of sharing in the martyr’s lot by letting go of what is not essential and focusing on the One who loved us to the end.

HOLY WEEK
LEAFLETS
A take home flyer will be distributed today with times of all the Holy Week and Easter Ceremonies. They are also available on the church tables. Please take a few flyers to circulate in your local area. PLEASE NOTE St Bernard’s Church Easter Vigil Mass will be at 6 pm. This change will be made only for the Easter Vigil. After Easter we will then continue with our 5 pm Saturday Vigil.
The Triduum
The Sacred Paschal Triduum of the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord shines forth as the high point of the
entire liturgical year.
The Triduum begins with the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, gathers to listen to the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, has its centre in the Easter Vigil and closes with Vespers of the Sunday of the Resurrection. GNLY 18,19
Holy Thursday: Unity is expressed by the single celebration of an evening Eucharist in which the whole parish community gathers to participate. In our parish, that means all three communities of Bernard, Catherine and Martin. Concelebration by all priests in the community is encouraged. Project Compassion gifting is usually taken up during the Mass. Bells ring out for the Gloria and then fall silent until the celebration of the resurrection. Apart from the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper all Masses are prohibited.
