As we draw closer to Easter, the Sunday readings become more and more explicit about this. In a rather dry, matter-of-fact way, today’s reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans teaches that our “mortal bodies” will be raised to life. But in a far more gripping way, the Lord shouts at us through the prophet Ezekiel, “O my people, I will open your graves . . . I will put my spirit in you . . . I have promised, and I will do it.” When Jesus saw the people weeping over the death of Lazarus, he was troubled in spirit and moved by the deepest emotions. Approaching the tomb, Jesus himself began to weep. He loved Lazarus. In fact, Jesus loved Lazarus so much that he snatched him out of his tomb, back to life. That’s how God loves us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION There is a geography to the liturgy of baptism that distills the journey of faith. Each part of the liturgy is assigned to a distinct part of the church building. Baptism, whether of infants carried to church by their parents or of adults following the paschal candle into a darkened church at Easter, starts at the door. First, a threshold must be crossed and a new community of meaning and memory encountered for the first time. Then, the celebration moves to the place for God’s Word. Next, as the litany of the saints is sung, there is a procession to the font. Finally, the movement is to the table, the altar of the Eucharist. There, newly baptized adults are brought to the sacred meal, or the parents of infants are blessed and reminded that their child will one day share fully in the table’s banquet. Many Catholic churches honor this geography by placing the font near the door, or at least small vessels with water. The doorway of our church is a place of memory, and a passageway to a new way of living. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LA VIDA VIENE DE LA MUERTE La Cuaresma es sobre la Pascua, y la Pascua es sobre la vida después de la muerte. Al acercarnos a la Pascua, las lecturas dominicales son más y más claras sobre este punto. Viviremos para siempre. De manera seca, sin rodeos, la lectura de la carta de san Pablo a los romanos nos enseña que nuestros “cuerpos mortales” resucitarán. Pero de manera más dramática, el Señor nos grita por boca de Ezequiel, “Pueblo mío, yo mismo abriré sus sepulcros... les infundiré a ustedes mi espíritu... yo, el Señor, lo dije y lo cumplí”. Cuando Jesús vio a la gente llorando por la muerte de Lázaro, sintió una gran tristeza y se conmovió mucho. Se acercó a la tumba y empezó a llorar. Jesús amaba a Lázaro. En verdad, Jesús amaba a Lázaro tanto que lo rescató de la tumba y le devolvió la vida. Es así como Dios nos ama. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Vicente Ferrer, patrón de los obreros de la construcción, falleció el 5 de abril de 1419. Este santo varón nació en Valencia, España, en 1350, vivió y predicó el Evangelio en una época muy difícil del cristianismo. Además de la peste, guerras y otros problemas sociales, la Iglesia estaba dividida por dos o tres hombres que insistían ser el verdadero Papa. Vicente, un religioso dominico, dedicó su vida a reconstruir la Iglesia promoviendo la virtud de la caridad interna y externa mediante una predicación que relacionaba la Palabra de Dios con la vida cotidiana. Vicente se valía de la teología, poesía, repetición y otros medios para inculcar la sabiduría bíblica en sus oyentes. De esta manera supo construir la fe tanto en los fieles y en la Iglesia como comunidad. Los cuadros de este santo español normalmente lo presentan con una llama ardiente en una mano y en la otra, con una Biblia abierta. De esta manera los artistas subrayan el amor ardiente que los cristianos debemos tener por la Palabra de Dios, un amor que Vicente edificaba en el corazón de los fieles. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

Eventually he had to die, just like Jesus, our loved ones, and all of us. Do we believe, with Martha, that our death will be a birth into an even richer experience of new life?
