Reflection

Sometimes one thing needs to die in order for something new to be born. When have you experienced this in your own life? What do you need to

let go of now for something new to grow?

“The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Amen, amen, I say to you, 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. Whoever loves his life loses it,and whoever hates his life in this world

will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be.

The Father will honor whoever serves me.‘I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.

Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it and will glorify it again.’

The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder; but others said, ‘An angel has spoken to him.’

Jesus answered and said, ‘This voice did not come for my sake but for yours.

Now is the time of judgment on this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.’

He said this indicating the kind of death he would die.” John 12: 20-33

We are reading much further into John’s Gospel than in the past two weeks. Chapter 12 prepares us for the beginning of the passion narrative to follow. Jesus has just raised Lazarus from the dead—an important sign

which inspired many to believe in Jesus. This also marks the turning point in Jesus’ conflict with the Jew-ish authorities. The Sanhedrin met after this event and made plans to kill Jesus. In this 12th chapter of John’s Gospel, Jesus is anointed at Bethany and enters Jerusa-lem in triumph. We again see evidence of the signifi-cance of the raising of Lazarus to this event; John re-ports that the crowds also gathered to see Lazarus. Following his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, Jesus predicted his suffering, death, and Resurrection and prepared his disciples to believe in the salvation that his death would accomplish. Using the metaphor of the grain of wheat, Jesus presented the idea that his dying would be beneficial. He also taught that those who would be his disciples must follow his example of sacrifice. This theme will be repeated in John’s ac-count of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples as an example of how they must serve one another. The final section might be read as John’s parallel to the agony in the garden. The Gospel of John does not record Jesus’ anguished prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. Although comparable words are found in today’s reading, Jesus gives a confident response when asking God to save him from his impending death. After announcing his conviction that it is for this purpose that he came, a voice from heaven speaks, as if in answer to Jesus’ prayer, affirming that God welcomes the sacrifice that Jesus will make on behalf of others. In John’s Gospel, Jesus teaches that this voice was sent for the sake of those who would be-lieve in him. Today, we also hear Jesus speak about the cosmic framework against which we are to under-stand his passion, death, and Resurrection: Jesus con-quered Satan, the ruler of this our mortal world. In this way, the world is judged but not condemned. Instead, through Jesus’ dying and rising, salvation is brought to the world. Loyola Press

S aint of the Week Saint Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 315 – March 18, 386) Raised in Jerusalem and well-educated, especially in the Scriptures, Cyril was ordained a priest by the bish-

op of Jerusalem and given the task during Lent of catechizing those preparing for Baptism and catechizing the newly bap-tized during the Easter season. His Catecheses remain valua-ble as examples of the ritual. While he was validly consecrat-ed by bishops of the province, one of them was an Arian – Acacius – and it may have been expected that Cyril’s “loyalty” would follow. Conflict soon rose between Cyril and Acacius, bishop of the rival nearby see of Caesarea. Cyril was summoned to a council, accused of insubor-dination and of selling Church property to relieve the poor. Cyril indeed sold church orna-ments and imperial gifts to aid the poor during drastic food shortages. Probably, however, it was a theological difference involved. He was condemned, driven from Jerusalem, and later vindicated, not without some association with and help from Semi-Arians. Half his episcopate was spent in exile; his first experience was repeated twice. He finally returned to find Jerusalem torn with heresy, schism and strife, and wracked with crime. Even Saint Gregory of Nyssa, who was sent to help, left in despair. They both went to the Council of Constantinople, where the amended form of the Nicene Creed was promulgated in 381. Cyril accepted the word consub-stantial—that is, Christ is of the same substance or nature as the Father. Some said it was an act of repentance, but the bishops of the Council praised him as a champion of ortho-doxy against the Arians. Reflection It should be no surprise that saints, indeed all Christians, will experience the same difficulties as their Mas-ter. The definition of truth is an endless, complex pursuit, and good men and women have suffered the pain of both contro-versy and error. Intellectual, emotional, and political road-blocks may slow up people like Cyril for a time. But their lives taken as a whole are monuments to honesty and courage.
