Mass Intentions
Today’s Gospel Reflection
1st Reading: Jer 31:31-34 * Psalm 51:3-4, 12-15 *
2nd Reading: Heb 5:7-9 * Gospel: Jn 12:20-33
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.

“I will place my law within them and write it upon their hearts; I will
be their God, and they shall be my people.” — Jeremiah 31:33
LA NUEVA ALIANZA
Cuando el profeta Jeremías creó el término “nueva alianza”
hacía algo muy radical. Para el pueblo judío, sólo había una
alianza, la que el Señor Dios había hecho con Israel por medio
de Moisés en el Monte Sinaí. Cuando Jeremías dice que de
alguna manera Dios va a reemplazar la antigua alianza con una
nueva, seguro que sus oyentes pensaban que era algo muy
atrevido. De ese modo Jeremías es un predecesor de Jesús,
quien, en el Evangelio de Juan se presenta siempre como
alguien que reemplaza el pasado, estableciendo el Reino de
Dios de una manera nueva. Y en el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy,
Jesús, “la nueva alianza” habla con el lenguaje del “nuevo
mandamiento” de amor cuando menciona el grano de trigo que
muere y nuestra propia muerte al egoísmo para poder resucitar
con Cristo. Al finalizar la Cuaresma y al prepararnos a entrar en
la Semana Santa, el grano de trigo que muere es un símbolo
excelente del tipo de muerte y autosacrificio al que los discípulos
están llamados, un símbolo de esa nueva alianza escrita en lo
más profundo de nuestro corazón.

PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO
Dear Parishioners and friends,
Today is the Fifth Sunday of Lent.
PASTORS’ MESSAGE
We as Catholics, are encouraged to make going to confession a significant part of our lives
especially during Lent.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Penance or Confession, is one of the most unique
and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, instituted the
Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession, so that we, as sinners, can obtain forgiveness for our sins and
reconcile with God. “I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:19). Jesus
repeated this in Matthew 18:18: “Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and
whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” When Jesus appeared to the apostles after His
resurrection, “[Jesus] said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send
you….Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are
retained.’” (John 20:21-23)
Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation we find God’s unconditional forgiveness. As a result, we are
called to forgive others.
In his “Apostolic Constitution on Penance”, Pope Paul VI reminded us that “The kingdom of God
announced by Christ can be entered only by a ‘change of heart’ (metanoia), that is to say through that
intimate and total change and renewal of the entire man– of all his opinions, judgments and decisions– which
takes place in him in the light of the sanctity and charity of God, the sanctity and charity which was manifested
to us in the Son and communicated fully. We must all turn from sin and make reparation to God for our sins.
We must forgive and show love for one another just as we ask for God’s love and forgiveness.”
On Monday, March 23rd, we will have our Penance Service beginning at 7:00 p.m. Priests from other
parishes will come to hear our confessions. Take this invitation to come to Him in the Sacrament of
Confessions. To go to confession is an act of humbling down ourselves. It is through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation where sins are forgiven. It is here that we receive God’s forgiveness. As we are forgiven, so
also must we forgive (Matthew 18:21-35).
Fr. Bernard Ranoa & Fr. Manny Ediza
“Therefore, repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of
refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)

Blessings from St. Michael Academy to the St. Michael Parish Community!
I am very pleased to announce that two of our 8th grade students received scholarship from Mater Dei
Catholic High School. Jonathan Gomez was awarded the Principal’s Scholarship and Kyle Dominguez was
awarded the Merit Scholarship. Congratulations to both boys and their parents.
The past week was a bit less lively on the campus of St. Michael Academy as our 6th Grade students and
their teacher spent the week at Camp Stevens. They focused on outdoor education and team building. The
entire student body looked forward to their return and welcomed them with open arms. It’s nice to have the SMA family
together again!
Enrollment/registration is an ongoing process at St. Michael Academy. We are a Kindergarten through 8th Grade
school. Call the office and schedule a tour of the Academy. Give us an opportunity to show you how the cost of your child’s

GOD’S WORD TODAY.
“I will be their God, and they
shall be my people.” This statement is at the heart of the new
covenant God established with the house of Israel. God
promised to “remember their sin no more.” This Lenten season
has offered us opportunities to recall the covenant God established at the moment of our baptism. In that moment, we
became the people of God. Too often we forget this covenant
and turn away from God. Lent is all about returning to the Lord
with our whole heart. As the living word of God is proclaimed
today, let us remember the faithfulness of our God and offer
thanks for the gift of the Lord Jesus, who, as today’s letter to the
Hebrews tells us, is “the source of eternal salvation for all who
obey him.” From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company

Prayer for the Year of
Consecrated Life
O God, throughout the ages you have
called women and men to pursue lives
of perfect charity through the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. During this
Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these
courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration.
Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect
offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church
by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the
pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above
all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives
and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.
