THE OBEDIENCE OF ABRAHAM AND JESUS

God tested Abraham by asking not for an ordinary sacrifice, which would have been a partial

burning with the meat divided between God and the people and eaten by those who sacrificed,

but for a holocaust, a total burning of the sacrificial animal. This type of sacrifice consecrated the

entire offering to God alone. This is what God was asking of Abraham in offering his only son, Isaac.

When Abraham demonstrated his obedience, that was enough. This story from

today’s scriptures foretells the completion of the blood sacrifices of the old

covenant in the new covenant: the blood of God’s own Son, offered to us on

the cross and in the Eucharist. Abraham’s obedience foreshadows the

obedience of Jesus to God’s promise of salvation. The obedience of Abraham

is rewarded in the birth to him, through Isaac, of many nations. The obedience

of Jesus is rewarded in the salvation of all people for all time.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith (Genesis 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18). Psalm — I walk before the Lord, in the land of the living (Psalm 116). Second Reading — God did not spare his own Son (Romans 8:31b-34). Gospel — This is my beloved Son (Mark 9:2-10).

Lenten Penance Service Thursday, March 8 at 7:00pm

Is there something you have done that you fear God won’t forgive? Do you think God’s justice is greater than his love? Jesus made it clear that God forgives sins if we repent, confess our sins, and turn to him in faith for his forgiveness. God is eager to forgive us if only we ask.

Baltimore Catechism - The Lord’s Prayer

Q. What do we ask for by “Thy kingdom come”?

A. In it we ask that God may reign in our hearts and in the hearts of all men by His grace in this life, and that we and all men may attain our eternal salvation, and thus be brought to reign forever with God in Heaven-the kingdom of His glory.
